SUMMARY:Air Sealing and Insulating Existing Homes: Developing a Work Scope for Attic Efficiency Upgrades
DESCRIPTION:Effective work scopes help contractors and customers achieve specific performance goals in a home’s attic efficiency upgrade. Developing a comprehensive\, goal-oriented work scope can help contractors sell more jobs\, differentiate their work from other contractors bidding on the job\, and enables customers to prioritize their home upgrades within their budget\, allowing for the possibility of future improvements. In this session\, Dan Perunko of Balance Point Home Performance will draw upon his contractor experience to discuss how he approaches attic efficiency work scopes\, from demolition\, material selection and installation\, to commissioning. \nAgenda: \n\nIntroduction and safety message\nHow is high-performance a different business model\nSetting your company standards\nHow to define cost-effective\nIdentify the outcomes the customer would like to achieve\nDefining outcomes in the work scope\nDeveloping costs for specific outcomes\nUsing options to define good\, better\, best\nUsing notes to clarify limits of what work accomplishes\nNegotiating the outcomes in the work scope\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe objective of this course is that at the conclusion\, participants will be able to: \n\nSpecify at least three or more performance outcomes the work scope helps define\nExplain one or more ways that a high-performance work scope is different from an industry standard sale process\nSynthesize the home performance outcomes the customer would like to achieve\nDescribe one or more examples of how to Itemize the work scope to facilitate a better understanding of cost segregation

SUMMARY:DOMESTIC HOT WATER – PART 3: ALL-ELECTRIC DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION SERIES
DESCRIPTION:All-Electric Design & Construction Series \nOn the path to Zero Net Carbon Design\, building electrification is the key to reducing operational carbon. In this course\, we’ll share the nuts and bolts of incorporating all-electric systems into residential and small commercial projects\, including tips for implementation as well as client communication. We’ll provide straight-forward information on current systems and technologies plus a look ahead at what’s emerging in the market. \nPart 1: Carbon Reduction through Building Electrification will address California’s targets for carbon reduction\, status of the clean power grid\, the role of energy storage and emerging options for refrigerants. \nPart 2: Heat Pumps for Heating and Cooling\, will address ducted and ductless heat pumps for thermal comfort. \nPart 3: Domestic Hot Water\, will focus on integrated and split-system Heat Pump Water Heaters\, as well as combination systems and point-of-use electric resistance water heaters \nPart 4: Ventilation and HRV\, will look at exhaust fans\, ducted ventilation and heat recovery ventilators that support energy efficiency and healthy interiors \nPart 5: Appliances & Energy Storage\, looks at electric options for cooktops\, dryers and other appliances as well as current and emerging battery technologies for energy storage. \nLearning Objectives \n\nLearn the ‘why’ behind California’s shift to building electrification and the link to Zero Net Carbon Design\nLearn the pros and cons of various products to help in selecting appropriate systems that meet electrification and carbon-reduction goals\nLearn critical installation details such as dimensions and venting to call out in plans and/or identify early in construction\nUnderstand the local market for specific all-electric/ZNCD equipment\, including cost\, availability and lead times\n\nInstructors: Jennifer Rennick and Michelle Zimney\, In Balance Green Consulting \nThis series has been developed to fulfill the California requirement for five hours of ZNCD education as part of architecture license renewal. Although created with architects in mind\, the content is broadly applicable across the building industry.
