SUMMARY:Net Zero Energy Buildings Now and What’s Next
DESCRIPTION:Buildings tend to be the primary energy consumer in the U.S.—and amid rising utility prices and concerns about the impacts of climate change\, efforts are being made to incorporate energy saving strategies into commercial building design\, construction\, and operation. The concept of a Net Zero Energy building\, which produces as much energy as it uses annually\, is a reality in most regions. These buildings often come with added benefits that include improved comfort and resilience. In this online event\, our panelists will discuss Net Zero Energy buildings. Presenters will clarify what these terms mean and how they compare with other classifications\, such as Net Zero Carbon or Living Buildings\, and introduce Future‑Ready building concepts. The session will feature case studies\, explore why clients made this choice\, and highlight how the current market for these buildings is evolving today.

SUMMARY:System Performance Module Parts 1-2 Webinar
DESCRIPTION:This 4 day intermediate webinar covers HVAC fundamentals for residential and light commercial systems in California. Topics include thermodynamics\, system performance\, load considerations\, airflow\, pressure control\, heating and cooling systems\, and quality maintenance. It also explores psychrometrics\, the Equal Friction method\, and field measurements for system efficiency. This series qualifies for 8 CEHs through North American Technician Excellence (NATE) with the completion of all 8 parts. \n3/23/2026\, 6:00-8:15pm Part 1: Fundamentals of building science and how buildings interact thermally with their environment. \nPart 2: Factors that cause variations in a building’s heat load and the basic principles of heat transfer and thermodynamics to evaluate HVAC system behavior under varying operating conditions. \n3/24/2026\, 6:00-8:15pm Part 3: Importance of Quality Insulation Installation (QII) and the basic principles of heat transfer and thermodynamics to evaluate HVAC system behavior under varying operating conditions. \nPart 4: Air moves in and out of a building’s envelope through a process called infiltration and exfiltration. Discussion will include the wind effect\, stack effect\, and fan effect. \n3/30/2026\, 6:00-8:15pm Part 5: Covers heating systems\, HVAC components and functions\, diagnostic checks\, CAQI standards\, airflow measurement tools\, Quality Maintenance\, and commissioning. \nPart 6: Covers the ACCA 4 California Quality Maintenance Standard\, impacts of poor HVAC upkeep\, the ACCA 5 maintenance practices\, and concludes with California Quality Service. \n3/31/2026\, 6:00-8:15pm Part 7: Fundamental characteristics of air\, including temperature\, humidity\, and pressure\, each essential for HVAC processes. Use the psychrometric chart to analyze air properties. \nPart 8: Critical role of indoor air quality and proper refrigerant charge in HVAC system performance. Calculate capacity\, delivered capacity\, and efficiency.
