SUMMARY:Certified Passive House Designer/Consultant (CPHD) Pacific Winter Hybrid Cohort
DESCRIPTION:3C-REN is pleased to offer The Passive House Network’s (PHN’s) Certified Passive House Designer/ Consultant hybrid cohort. This training is available at no cost to residents and those who work in the counties of Ventura\, Santa Barbara\, and San Luis Obispo. The CPHD course is the premier Passive House professional training for architects\, engineers\, and building professionals and is supported by the 31-year history of global technical leadership of the Passive House Institute. \nThe upcoming online Winter Cohort starts on January 16th with an exam scheduled on April 3rd. For more information on the training\, check out the training brochure and schedule or visit Pacific Winter 2025 Cohort – The Passive House Network. The hybrid cohort schedule is approximately 8 weeks from kick-off to completion\, followed by 4 to 5 weeks of exam prep. \nComplete the interest form ASAP to confirm your eligibility for the cohort. Space is limited. Registration is first come\, first serve with limited equal spaces per Ventura\, Santa Barbara\, and San Luis Obispo Counties. Confirmed registrants will be sent a link and an enrollment code to register with PHN’s training portal. \nBy registering for the Pacific Cohort\, you commit 3C-REN to pay the training and exam fee on your behalf\, valued at $2\,295. \nCourse Overview\nThe course is structured to be flexible in timing yet get you to the exam date prepared for the test and ready for designing and building. \nThe CPHD/C training is a specially designed for professionals in the U.S. construction industry. It features Passive House calculations in Imperial units\, and has a variety of case studies\, with both U.S. and international examples. Regardless\, of what type of projects you design – residential\, commercial\, institutional projects\, or with new and retrofit construction – the Passive House standard can be applied. \nWho Should Attend\nThe Certified Passive House Designer / Consultant course was developed for a wide range of student profiles include architects\, MEP and structural engineers\, façade\, energy and sustainability consultants\, contractors\, developers\, policymakers\, regulators\, and more. \n\nWhy Attend this Course\n\nGain a strong foundation in Passive House principles\, and their application\, that can influence all your building projects\, including single-family\, multi-family\, mixed-use\, commercial\, and industrial.\nLearn Passive House standards and calculations using Imperial units rather than metric.\nDevelop the skills needed to calculate for high-performance buildings.\nExplore case studies of passive house buildings from a variety of projects and learn best practices and design tips for different conditions.\nLearn the core requirements for all certified Passive House designers and consultants so that you can take the certification exam.\nOnce you pass the certification exam\, you’ll possess an internationally regarded professional credential demonstrating leadership in high-performance\, low-energy building design.\n\nThis training is accredited by the AIA for up to 59 LU/HSWs (CPHD + PHPP).

SUMMARY:Domestic Hot Water – Part 3: All-Electric Design and Construction Series
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nAll-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. \n\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.\n\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. \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\n
