In today’s world, sustainability and energy efficiency have become paramount in the construction industry. Iowa’s electric cooperatives invite area building-trades professionals to the 2025 Momentum is Building Conference, scheduled for Feb. 20-21, 2025, and returning to its former location at the Sheraton West Des Moines. The annual conference aims to equip contractors and their staff with the knowledge and tools necessary to excel in a rapidly changing construction landscape.
According to the 2023 National Association of REALTORS® Sustainability Report, 63% of real estate professionals recognize the value of promoting energy efficiency in property listings. Homebuyers increasingly prioritize features that reduce carbon footprints and lead to long-term utility savings (This Old House, https://www.thisoldhouse.com/solar-alternative-energy/reviews/energy-efficiency-home-statistics).
Iowa’s electric cooperatives work to serve as a source of information and expertise for their members to help them save energy and lower their electric bills. Educating Iowa home builders and contractors about the latest energy-efficiency innovations is another way to assist members in reaching their energy goals. For over thirty years, the annual Momentum is Building Conference, sponsored and organized by the Iowa Cooperatives for Energy Efficiency (ICEE), connects Iowa’s construction industry with the local services and resources available from Iowa-based electric cooperatives, which serve nearly 650,000 Iowans across 99 counties.
The Momentum is Building Conference allows attendees to:
Stay Ahead of the Curve: Get the latest insights on industry trends, green-building best practices, and innovative construction technologies, and earn valuable Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for electricians, plumbers, and HVAC professionals.
Network: Connect with fellow contractors, builders, energy-efficient product specialists, and industry experts. Share experiences and foster valuable partnerships.
Gain Insights: Our keynote speaker, Bill McAnally, a long-time friend and energy-efficiency expert in Iowa, will look back at energy-efficient homebuilding and the lessons we’ve learned along the way.
Identify Sustainable Solutions: Discover energy-efficient products and practices, and chat with the experts who market and sell products and services that can save money, attract more clients, and contribute to a greener future.
The Momentum is Building Conference serves as a resource to provide the information area contractors need to design and improve homes that are energy-efficient, healthy, comfortable, and affordable.
