SUMMARY:Introduction to Passive House Trades
DESCRIPTION:The Introduction to Passive House Trades course will broadly cover the following topics: Passive House (PH) basics\, review typical construction types\, windows and installation\, air barriers and insulation and new\, innovative PH products. It is crucial when working on Passive House buildings to properly install components\, understand how to correctly implement design details and assess and plan for the current and future performance of the building. It can also help prepare those interested in the Certified Passive House Tradesperson training.

SUMMARY:Retrofitting Homes for Electrification and Decarbonization
DESCRIPTION:From alignment with California’s decarbonization goals and local ordinances prohibiting new gas installs\, Dan Perunko of Balance Point Home Performance will outline the necessary steps to electrify an existing single-family home and how to manage whole house strategies for successful electrification retrofits. Case studies demonstrating successful electrification projects will highlight the opportunities to overcome challenges presented by existing infrastructure and planning for backup power during PSPS events.

SUMMARY:Electric Heat Pumps for Space Heating and Cooling
DESCRIPTION:As our electricity supply becomes cleaner\, due to an increased use of renewables for generation and a growing number of local ordinances prohibiting gas installs in new homes\, electricity becomes an attractive fuel source to designers and builders interested in reducing residential greenhouse gas emissions and creating zero carbon homes. \nDan Perunko of Balance Point Home Performance will present on efficiency gains\, and overcoming common installation pitfalls from electric heat pump water heaters in new and existing buildings. Class discussion will cover the advantages and limitations of these systems\, the available technology and refrigerant types\, as well as features like load flexing.
