SUMMARY:Using Building Science to Design and Build High Performance Homes – Class 2: High Performance Fundamentals Series
DESCRIPTION:This is class 2 of 6 in 3C-REN’s High Performance Fundamentals Certificate series. Earn a 3C-REN certificate of completion after finishing the series and passing short quizzes at the end of each class. \nDescription: Most of us either have or would like to forget our high school biology\, chemistry\, and physical science. But believe it or not\, it’s spot on to translate that science into how buildings actually work. This course applies essential building science principles to the design and construction of climate-tuned\, resilient\, top-value homes that are better for owners\, better for the environment\, and better for your work as building professionals. \nWhat’s “better value” for owners\, the environment\, and you? Using science to integrate energy efficiency\, thermal comfort\, moisture management\, durability\, and resilience.

SUMMARY:ACEEE: Energy Efficiency as a Resource
DESCRIPTION:Utility energy efficiency programs have a strong record of saving customers energy and money. But today’s urgent challenges—from climate change to inequitable energy burdens—demand that we ramp up these efficiency efforts and reimagine what these programs are capable of\, building on the strong foundations in place. Join us at the Energy Efficiency as Resource (EER) conference in Philadelphia\, October 16–18\, 2023\, to explore how efficiency efforts can expand and evolve amid a transforming utility industry.

SUMMARY:Extreme Weather Events and Building Resilience in Home Electrification and Decarbonization
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is driving a rise in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events\, such as heatwaves\, cold snaps\, floods\, hurricanes\, etc.\, significantly impacting the stability and reliability of buildings’ energy systems and infrastructure. This seminar will delve into the intersection of extreme weather events and resilience strategies associated with reducing emissions from homes. Key topics include identifying the vulnerabilities of current home electrification systems to extreme weather events and highlighting the critical need for home resilient design and technologies. The seminar will present innovative solutions and best practices to enhance the durability and adaptability of home energy systems\, during and after severe weather events. Through expert presentations and case studies\, attendees will acquire a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities in building resilient home electrification systems capable of withstanding extreme weather events. \n  \nSpeakers: Heather Rosenberg (ARUP) Max Wei (LBNL) Josh Quinnell (CEE)

SUMMARY:The Multi-State Plan to Power a Surge in Heat Pump Adoption
DESCRIPTION:Earlier this year\, nine states plus Washington\, DC\, signed an agreement to meet ambitious heat pump targets and reduce emissions from buildings. Hear from Emily Levin of the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM)\, who drafted the agreement\, on how it came to be and what the states are now doing to meet the commitment. Also hear from Zach Berzolla of the Maryland Department of the Environment about the specific steps his state is taking to accelerate heat pump deployment and decarbonize buildings.
