SUMMARY:Air Sealing New and Retrofit Construction
DESCRIPTION:Designing and constructing airtight houses and buildings allows for projects that need less heating and cooling. As a result\, it is less costly to attain zero carbon as proper air sealing saves energy and results in smaller mechanical equipment. Achieving super airtight assemblies is about the correct mind set as well as proper protocol and materials. This class will allow you to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to achieve your project’s air sealing goals. Terry Nordbye will demonstrate step by step procedures and materials to air seal a new construction house\, including Passive House\, to virtually any airtightness and achieve deep reductions in retrofit work. You will be shown all steps from planning to construction and learn why\, where\, and when to air seal.

SUMMARY:Electric Construction Equipment
DESCRIPTION:This class is an introduction to electric construction equipment. The goal is to inform contractors and policy makers about the wide range of available electric bulldozers\, backhoes\, bobcats\, cranes\, forklifts\, solar+battery generators\, jackhammers\, pressure washers\, work trucks and more. \nWe will discuss the equipment’s practical features\, costs\, benefits and limitations. \nInstructor Information: Sean Armstrong \nSean Armstrong was raised on a Wisconsin farm\, has been part of seven farming businesses\, co-owns a working ranch\, and consults nationally on all-electric buildings and equipment. Sean co-authored eight practical design guides since 2016 for all-electric design and equipment\, helps manufacturers invent new electric products\, and designed half of the all-electric new construction in California between 2010-2020.

SUMMARY:AC & HP Air Distribution Parts 1-4
DESCRIPTION:This is the first four-parts of an eight-part series for HVAC professionals\, from beginners to those with intermediate experience. It covers foundational principles of ducted air distribution systems and processes for Quality Installation (QI)\, Quality Maintenance (QM)\, and Quality Service (QS) for residential and light commercial systems in California.\nThis evening series equips participants with skills to design\, install\, commission\, maintain\, service\, diagnose\, and verify ducted airflow systems\, ensuring they are safe\, reliable\, and energy-efficient. \n12/4/2024\, 6:00-8:15pm Part 1: Importance of air distribution in HVAC systems\, duct design\, airflow rates\, velocities\, static pressures\, terminal diffuser/grille types\, and airflow instruments.\nPart 2: Fundamental characteristics of air and the psychrometric chart from the perspective of installers and service technicians. \n12/5/2024\, 6:00-8:15pm Part 3: HVAC duct design methods\, focusing on the Equal Friction Method\, including rules\, principles\, and examples for determining duct sizes and airflow requirements.\nPart 4: Practical application of the Equal Friction Method in designing residential and commercial duct systems\, including heat load calculations\, friction loss adjustments\, duct layout planning\, and friction rate calculations. Concludes with hands-on examples and commissioning preparations. \n\n\nDate & Time\n\n\n\n\n\nDec 4\, 2024 06:00 PM\nDec 4\, 2024 07:15 PM\nDec 5\, 2024 06:00 PM\nDec 5\, 2024 07:15 PM
