The Residential Building Science Program works with the building trades to adopt an integrated approach to assessing, correcting and building residential structures based on the “House as a System” framework.  The “House as a System” approach considers the interaction between the building site, envelope, and mechanical systems, as well as other factors. It recognizes that features of one component in the house can greatly affect others and it enables the incorporation energy-saving strategies at little or no extra cost.  The Energy Office is working with a number of partners to provide a wide range of training and technical assistance to Arizona’s building trades.
