SUMMARY:Improving Home Indoor Air Quality and Best Practices for Kitchen Ventilation - NOW ALSO ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:Steve Easley uses real world pictures and graphics to sort through the myriad of system choices to help you design and select the most cost-effective system to meet code and beyond. This class explains why properly ventilated\, well-insulated\, tighter\, homes have better indoor air quality (IAQ) and fewer moisture problems\, perform better\, last longer and are healthier to live in than the typically insulated\, “accidentally ventilated” home.

SUMMARY:How to Design and Build High-Performance Walls
DESCRIPTION:California’s 2022 Title 24 Residential Energy Code all but requires high-performance walls with exterior insulation while higher-performance home designs\, like Passive House\, requires continuous exterior insulation. This class examines how to design and build high-performance wall assemblies that deliver energy efficiency\, reduce space conditioning loads\, and do not lead to water or moisture failures. Presenter Steve Easley will delve into the best installation practices for air barrier/sealing to meet and exceed building codes.

SUMMARY:Commissioning Heat Pump Systems: The All Electric Building - Part 5 of 5
DESCRIPTION:Part 5 of 5 – April 21\, 2023 (8:30am – 12:30pm) This training series will focus on the design\, commissioning and operational issues associated with heat pumps and heat pump systems with a focus on how this type of equipment can facilitate electrification of buildings and building systems. The content will be divided into five half-day sessions. Each session will stand alone\, but the different training modules will also be inter-related. Ideally people interested in using heat pumps as part of building electrification projects will attend all five sessions.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL | Green Marketing Roundtable | BayREN
DESCRIPTION:Green Marketing Roundtable: Session 1 Monday\, April 24th | 10:00 am – 11:00 am \n“Green Eileen” will host a series of Green Real Estate Marketing Roundtables\, with surprise energy efficiency guests joining for some sessions. She will guide Real Estate Professionals through various proven marketing techniques and tips she has used successfully in her own Green Real Estate Business over the years\, to help attendees develop and enhance their green real estate marketing practices. In this fun and fast-paced program\, Eileen will be answering the question\, “I have my NAR Green Designation. Now what?” \nDig into the Green Resources website to see the resources available. \nLearn how to incorporate these resources into your business. \nSee how to set up your profile. \nReview the links in the student manual. \nCollaborate on how this information can be best utilized.

SUMMARY:How to Design and Build High-Performance Attics
DESCRIPTION:California’s new Title 24 energy code and Passive House recommends high performance attics. Summer attic temperatures can easily add ½ to 1 ton of air conditioning load. The 2016 and 2019 T-24 energy codes require these loads be mitigated. \nThese codes prescriptively require attics and roofs with multiple layers of insulation in what seem to be in confusing and contradictory locations. This class examines how to design and build high performance attics and roofs assemblies that delivery energy efficiency and occupant comfort while reducing the risk for water and moisture related failures.

SUMMARY:Passive House Series: Passive House in California
DESCRIPTION:Our final class in this series will bring this home to cover the evolution of Passive House design here in California. We’ll review up to four specific projects located in Northern California\, including a Sacramento project. Details for each project will be shared to gain an understanding for how this approach varies across our local climate zones\, and how Passive House may be cost-effectively implemented in our region. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how the Passive House approach works in our region and climate.

SUMMARY:How to Diagnose Heating and Cooling Comfort Problems in Homes - In-Person
DESCRIPTION:Comfort problems can occur in homes even when the equipment appears to be working perfectly well. Most comfort problems are related to design issues and can be easily diagnosed using basic design principles and simple diagnostic tools. \nThis class will cover the most common comfort complaints\, the diagnostic tests\, how to interpret the results and how to use industry standard design principles to suggest solutions. \nLearning objectives: \nUnderstanding the most common symptoms of comfort problems vs. equipment problems \nUnderstanding how to use design principles (load calculations\, equipment selection\, duct design) do diagnose and resolve problems \nUnderstand the various diagnostic tests that can be used to pinpoint and quantify problems and how to interpret the results. \nSpeaker: Russell King\, M.E. is a professional mechanical engineer licensed in California\, Nevada\, and Hawaii. He has over 30 years of experience in the areas of HVAC design\, diagnostics and consulting\, as well as energy code compliance\, Home Energy Rating System (HERS) verification and consulting. He has taught professional level training on all these topics.
