Description
This course will explore the evolution and sustainable principles of the small passive-designed home. Since WWII, homes have increased in size from an average of 953 SF in the 1950s to 2,300 SF today. This has given rise to the "tiny" pre-manufactured or custom-built dwelling, including the shipping container home. What do you need, and how do you build in a sustainable, net-zero manner today?
Course Takeaways
At the conclusion of the course participants will be aware of:- The principles of small home design
- Alternative construction techniques for creating a small or "tiny" home
- The strategies for maximizing passive design
- How to approach "net-zero" in home design
