Ari leads IBACOS’ Homes That Give BackSM initiative, which is focused on changing the way homes are designed, constructed, and delivered. This vision is based on IABCOS’ fundamental belief that all homes must be safe, healthy, durable, comfortable, efficient, responsible, connected and affordable. Ari has eight years of experience performing Home Energy Rating System (HERS®) home energy ratings per Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) standards, and he is a champion for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH) program. He works with homebuilders to certify homes under the U.S. Department of Energy’s ENERGY STAR® for New Homes program. He also works directly with national and regional homebuilders to employ construction practices and technologies to reach the DOE’s Building America program performance targets in occupied test houses and community scale activities in both new and existing construction. Ari consults with building product manufacturers regarding technologies that will result in improved energy savings, evaluating these technologies in the field under “real world” conditions.
