This year, we have our top 5 most viewed on-demand CEU educational webinars and our top 5 most live-attended webinars.
Coming in at #3 for the on-demand most viewed course, The Basics of Passive Solar Design, and the most live attendees for the year was the All About Ducted Mini Splits v2 2024 session, which was featured as our #4 on-demand session in the last post.
Our board director and technical committee chair, Debbie Coleman of Sun Plans, has been helping us put together our series on passive solar practices over the last few years, with this being the introductory course and including two other courses completed this year. She was joined Orlo Stitt, Passive Solar Builder.
The survey results indicate that participants gained a wealth of knowledge about passive solar design tools and techniques. They learned important principles such as the optimal thickness for mass walls, the significant potential for the sun to provide a substantial portion of a home’s heating, and strategies for maximizing passive solar heating through proper building orientation and window placement. Participants found new resources like the Solar Path Finder tool and various online solar calculators particularly helpful. However, several questions remain, including the practical application of innovative designs like the Ice House Roof in different regions and the compatibility of passive solar strategies with local building codes. Additionally, some attendees expressed a desire to further explore the nuances of passive solar design technology and its integration with weatherization practices.
