SUMMARY:12:00pm - Reaching (for) a New Horizon: A PassiveHouse Story
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1631663664788{padding: 15px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″]Reaching (for) a New Horizon: A PassiveHouse Story[vc_column_text font_size=”18px” line_height=”1.8″]This is a story about a family’s determination to effect a cleaner future by building a certified passive house – a giant collection of the very big and very small choices that many owners\, architects\, and builders made this year\, this week\, today. From the owners’ perspective\, the arrival of their daughter brought them greater worry about uncertain tomorrows\, heightened awareness of their own ecological responsibility\, and a keener eye for spotting points of leverage able to lift the future to the one we will need to first survive\, then thrive. \nThey began with a goal of a PHIUS+ Certified Passive House\, and to their immense credit\, remained unwavering in their determination to meet this goal. They devoted time\, steered their budget to prioritize energy consciousness\, and routinely bypassed options without hesitation that excluded certification. We will tell some tales. \nWe will narrow down the mountain of challenges and battle stories of this project to three fundamental parts of the house: the strange foundation we inherited\, the windows that almost didn’t exist\, and the roof that started out simple but became complex without changing shape. While the challenges are project-specific\, the solutions are ones that you can adapt to your own project and your own journey find your leverage for that future we will have to work hard to deserve.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″]SpeakerKevin WittRead BioBrian CowanRead BioDan BowerRead Bio[/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:10:30am - A Landscape Befitting a Legacy
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1631663664788{padding: 15px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″]A Landscape Befitting a Legacy[vc_column_text font_size=”18px” line_height=”1.8″]When a Bainbridge Island client approached her about working on the home they were building to reflect their lifelong passion for art and environmental sustainability\, Hoda Sheikh\, founder and owner of Lotus landscapes & Arboriculture\, took up the challenge of creating a landscape and outdoor living space that could live up to the legacy. Where many designers might have planted an expanse of lawn\, and paved over areas\, or dug up indigenous plants\, Hoda looked at the property not as a blank canvas\, but one where the natural landscape had already begun to paint the picture. \nThis presentation will explore how the future of sustainable outdoor living will focus on the protection of natural resources over the creation of artificial spaces. Using the Legacy House as a case story\, Hoda will take you through the process she uses in intentional landscape design\, digging deep into several of her innovative solutions on this shoreline project\, including how she and her team protected old growth trees and their root systems from construction stress\, reused old plants\, transplanted and acclimated plant materials and introduced new ones; enhanced on-site ecosystems\, made best use of xeriscapes for water conservation and shoreline restoration; and smartly utilized rainwater collection and natural fertilizers.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″]SpeakerHoda SheikhRead Bio[/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:9:00am - Strategic Energy Planning for Resilience
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1631663664788{padding: 15px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″]Strategic Energy Planning for Resilience[vc_column_text font_size=”18px” line_height=”1.8″]The focus of this session is on best practices for developing a strategic energy plan that is centered on equitable outcomes\, while promoting community energy resilience.
