As demand increases for efficient, resilient, and durable buildings, construction materials and technologies are rapidly evolving. Even external technologies that interact with buildings are changing: For example, did you know that energy stored in an electric vehicle can be fed back into the grid to help supply energy at times of peak demand?

As a building inspector, keeping up-to-date on emerging trends and technologies can help you stay ahead of the curve. Watch this 5-minute video for an introduction to the grid-interactive efficient building (GEB). See the free resources below to start learning today about the combinations of technologies and capabilities of GEBs. You will be inspecting these buildings and technologies before you know it!
