SUMMARY:Builder’s Perspective: Insulation and Air Sealing
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nInsulation and air sealing are critical aspects of construction\, contributing to improved energy performance\, reduced operating costs\, greater indoor air quality and resiliency during a wildfire emergency. Insulation and air sealing can also contribute to increased construction costs and challenges for building sign-off if not managed effectively. In this course\, we’ll hear the builder’s perspective for sequencing the work\, selecting materials\, training teams on site and getting the results you want. \nLearning Objectives \n\nTalk through options for insulation and air and vapor barriers and best practices for selecting and installing each\nReview the potential negative consequences of thermal bridging in walls and roofs and discuss assemblies that avoid those outcomes\nLearn the application and benefits of rain screens in the central coast climate and different techniques and materials for a rain screen assembly\nLearn big and little spaces that are problem-areas in air sealing and how to use catch them early in construction\n\nLearning Units \n\n1.0 AIA LU pending for this course\n1.0 ZNCD CEU approved for this course\n\nInstructors \nJennifer Rennick\, In Balance Green Consulting \nMike Horgan\, Cairn Collaborative Design Build \nCourse Location  \nZoom link provided upon registration

SUMMARY:2025 Energy Code in Practice: Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nSorting through tables and reading the fine print in the energy code may get you the specific language of the code\, but what does that really mean in practice? In this series\, we’ll walk through key components for each building occupancy type\, providing sample details\, photos of installations and potential pitfalls to avoid. Highlighting 2025 changes throughout\, this course is intended for designers\, builders and building officials. Bring your questions and join in the discussion.\na. Single Family Residential (SFR)\nb. SFR Additions + Alterations\nc. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) – THIS COURSE!\nd. Multi-family Residential\ne. Non-Residential \nLearning Objectives \n\nUnderstand the metrics and standards used in the energy code for evaluating energy performance and indoor air quality\, and how choices for electric or gas equipment may impact compliance with those standards.\nWithin each building type\, review key mandatory measures related to energy performance\, ventilation\, refrigerants and insulation and review potential challenges for integration into design and construction.\nReview the prescriptive “recipe card” approach versus a building performance approach and discuss when to use each strategy to best incorporate energy efficiency and healthy interior environments into the specific project design.\nRecognize where barriers or stumbling blocks may occur within permitting and construction and tips for documentation to smooth out the process\, ultimately increasing the energy efficiency\, health and safety of our buildings.\n\nLearning Units \n\n1.5 AIA LUs will apply for this course\n0.15 ICC CEUs will apply for this course\n1.50 CEA CEUs will apply for this course\n\nInstructors \nJennifer Rennick\, In Balance Green Consulting \nGrant Murphy\, In Balance Green Consulting \nCourse Location \nZoom link provided upon registration
