SUMMARY:Recovery Ventilator: Installation\, Energy Savings\, and Compliance
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nImproved health and cognitive performance. Easier Title 24 compliance. Utility bill savings. These are the reasons to consider incorporating Heat Recovery Ventilators & Energy Recovery Ventilators (collectively Recovery Ventilators or RVs) into your next high-performance home project. \nThe instructors are a high-performance home contractor and energy consultant\, who together have specified and installed hundreds of RVs. They will draw on these experiences and data gathered from these units to better understand these mechanical ventilation systems and their benefits. They will cover the details of ducting to the outside for inlet and exhaust air and distributing the supply and exhaust throughout homes. Balancing airflow rates and maintenance requirements will also be covered. \nWe will also go over new 2025 energy code requirements for balanced ventilation and heat recovery in multifamily dwelling units\, how to add a RV to a Title 24 compliance energy model and the change in energy use and compliance metrics that results. We’ll present various configurations of RVs\, including through-the-wall paired units\, packaged HRVs and packaged ERVs\, and various ducting options. \nLearning Objectives \n\nUnderstand the basics of how Recovery Ventilators (RVs) work to improve indoor air quality in homes and reduce heating and cooling energy use\nLearn the 2025 energy code requirements for mechanical ventilation in single family and multifamily buildings and how RVs impact Title 24 compliance metrics\nModel a case study home and multifamily building using RVs and examine the energy use and compliance scores in various configurations\nHear best practices for specifying and installing RVs\n\nLearning Units  \n\n2.0 AIA LUs pending for this course\n0.2 ICC CEUs pending for this course\n2.0 CEA CEUs pending for this course\n\nInstructors  \nNick Brown\, Build Smart Group \nScott Kelly\, SK Fresh Air \nCourse Location  \nZoom link provided upon registration

SUMMARY:Next Generation Passive Solar & Passive House
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nWe all learned the principles of passive solar design in school – south facing orientation\, strategic windows\, thermal mass\, etc.\, but the old rules don’t apply in the same way. In the meantime\, Passive House building principles are folding into every-day construction. Modern buildings should still incorporate a range of passive strategies\, but they need a new spin on the implementation to account for improved insulation\, prevalence of high-performance glazing\, and efficient HVAC systems and lighting. \nLearning Units \n1 AIA LUs pending for this course \nInstructors \nJennifer Rennick\, In Balance Green Consulting \nAndy Pease\, In Balance Green Consulting \nCourse Location \nZoom link provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:Using the ECC (HERS) Registry for Energy Code Compliance
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nThis class teaches building department personnel how to use the ECC (formerly HERS) Registry to track the status of all of the ECC tests and inspections\, as well as all of the other compliance documents: CF1R\, CF2Rs\, and CF3Rs. The Project Status Report generated by the registry is probably the single most valuable tool for building departments to ensure compliance with the energy code. \nLearning Objectives \n\nWhat the ECC program is in the energy code\nHow ECC verification fits into the overall compliance process\nWhen a project is required to be registered with an ECC provider and when it is not\nHow to find a project in an ECC registry\nHow to use the ECC registry to track compliance documentation for a project\nHow to use the ECC registry to save time on field inspections\n\nLearning Units  \n\n1.5 AIA LUs pending for this course\n0.15 ICC CEUs pending for this course\n1.5 CEA CEUs pending for this course\n\nInstructor \nRuss King\, Coded Energy \nCourse Location  \nZoom link provided upon registration

SUMMARY:Heat Pump Water Heater Installation Training at Cedar Valley Plumbing Oxnard
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nHeat pump water heaters (HPWH) are becoming the standard in California. This free training will prepare your plumbers to install them correctly to avoid callbacks and achieve their full potential in terms of efficiency\, capacity\, longevity\, and customer satisfaction. We’ll cover how they work\, the range of models available on the market\, the critical detail of air flow\, and research on closet installs and condensation risk. You’ll come out prepared to add heat pump water heaters to your business and avoid some common installation hurdles. \nNick Brown is an expert on energy efficiency and Title 24 and has two heat pump water heaters operating at his house under continuous monitoring. \nLearning Objectives \n\nAcquire practical skills through a hands-on demonstration on installing a HPWH in a closet\nExplore the do’s and don’ts of installation based on real-life examples\nUnderstand the importance of air flow for HPWHs\nDistinguish how HPWHs are different from typical water heaters\n\nInstructors \nNick Brown\, Build Smart
