The Sustainable Buildings Industry Council is sponsoring a series of three, two-day workshops entitled, Designing Low-Energy Buildings with Energy-10 in Pennsylvania in May and June.

ENERGY-10 is an award-winning,PC-based design tool that helps architects and building designers quickly identify the most cost-effective, energy-saving measures for small commercial and residential buildings.ENERGY-10 can identify the best combination of energy-efficient strategies, including daylighting, passive solar heating, and high-efficiency mechanical systems. Using ENERGY-10 at a project’s start takes less than an hour and can result in energy savings of 40 to 70 percent, with little or no increase in construction cost.

The workshops are scheduled for May 20-21 in Pittsburgh, June 7-8 in Harrisburg and June 17-18 in Philadelphia.
