SUMMARY:Air Distribution Module Part 3 (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:This 4-part series gives participants the comprehensive skill sets required to properly design\, install\, commission\, maintain\, service\, diagnose and verify that the air distribution systems they are working on are safe\, reliable and operate at the highest capacity and energy efficiency possible.  The class will start with reviewing the basic physical properties of air\, common definitions used in the trade psychometrics\, the comfort index\, indoor air quality and the practical fundamentals and theories used in all air distribution systems.  It continues with the review of proper Quality Design of air distribution systems as they apply to the California market (CAQI) using the equal friction method\, with the use of common HVAC industry ductulator we learn how to size the entire system for proper airflow\, correct air velocity\, and resizing of different duct configurations.  The class will cover the design of both residential and commercial air distribution systems using either flexible and / or metal duct material.  At the conclusion of Part 2\, the class will design a commercial flexible duct air distribution system that will be reviewed in Parts 3 and 4 of this series.

SUMMARY:Boiler Basics for Energy Efficiency
DESCRIPTION:This safety & operation efficiency seminar compliments our “Boiler Water Treatment for Energy Efficiency” seminar. Owners and operators of boilers will receive an explanation of boiler controls\, interlock safeties and combustion air requirements. They will also be presented with techniques which may help improve boiler and distribution system operation as well as increased efficiency. Air quality and boiler operation guidelines will also be discussed.\n\nPaul Howland has over 50 years of experience in Boiler & HVAC systems operation and maintenance. After serving in the US Navy as a Boiler Technician\, he worked at many large central heating and refrigeration plants as a Steam Engineer and instrument technician and moved on to manage large factory automation projects Hewlett-Packard\, Beckman Instruments\, and Emerson Electric\, while attending college.  Beginning as Central Plant Manager\, Paul retired from the University of California\, Irvine after 22 years as Executive Director of Facilities Management and two years as Facilities Director at CSU Long Beach. Paul is currently an instructor for the Building Operator Certification (BOC) program and an instructor with UC Irvine Department of Continuing Education in the Facilities Management Certificate program. Paul is also the COE of Hydro-Convergent Technologies Inc providing energy and water conservation solutions. \n*Course qualifies for BOC maintenance of certification points toward BOC Level I or Level II credential.

SUMMARY:CA New 2025\, Title - 24 Codes & Standards - Residential (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Attend this webinar to learn how the latest version of the Standards will affect building design in your Residential and Non- Residential  construction projects.   \nCourse Description:  \nThe 2025 Title 24 Building Energy Code is more stringent than prior versions as California tackles climate change. The new standards are intended to reduce peak energy consumption and slow the growth in demand for electricity \, natural gas as well as reduce emissions in California. Martyn Dodd will summarize the new and revised requirements in the 2025 Code for single family\, multi-family and commercial buildings and direct participants to informational and training resources that provide more in-depth Title 24 information. Architects\, engineers\, lighting designers\, energy consultants\, contractors\, and building department staff should find this training of interest and directly applicable to their work. \nLearning Outcomes: \nAt the conclusion of the program\, participants: \n• Will have an overview understanding of changes in scope\, and new and revised mandatory and prescriptive requirements for residential and nonresidential building envelope in the 2025 Title 24 Energy Code \n• Will have an overview understanding of changes in scope\, and new and revised mandatory and prescriptive requirements for residential and nonresidential electric lighting and associated controls in the 2025 Title 24 Energy Code \n• Will have an overview understanding of changes in scope\, and new and revised mandatory and prescriptive requirements for residential and nonresidential mechanical systems and associated controls in the 2025 Title 24 Energy Code \n• Will be able to identify additional sources for in-depth information on the requirements of the 2025 Title 24 Energy Code. \nTarget Audience: \n• Architects \n• Building Department Staff \n• Energy Consultants \n• Energy Modelers \n• HVAC Engineers \n• Lighting Designers \n• Builders & General Contractors \nInstructor: Martyn Dodd \nHaving written software used in California for Title 24 Energy Code compliance since 1984\,  Mr. Dodd is principal of EnergySoft\, a Bay Area company that specializes in performance-based energy analysis for Title 24 and LEED. Mr. Dodd has been involved in the California standards development process for the past five decades and has consulted on the Title 24 rules and procedures extensively in that time. Mr. Dodd has taught over 3\,000 training classes  throughout North America on energy modeling and code compliance and has developed training curricula for over 150 different classes related to building energy efficiency. \nPrerequisites: \nParticipants will benefit if they have some background on California’s Title 24 Building Energy Code. \nLearning Level:  \nIntermediate Class: Content is appropriate for individuals who possess a fundamental understanding of the topic and have familiarity with basic terminology and methodology of the subject matter. Attendees should have the capacity to participate in instructor-led exercises requiring synthesis and application of concepts. \nLearning Units: 2 AIA Leaning Units \nDelivery method: Online \nBrought to you by GoToWebinar®\nWebinars Made Easy® \nRegistrants will receive a separate email with the log-in for the event. \nInternet access is required. \nSpecial Instructions: \nEvent Time: 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. \nFor assistance\, contact our Registration Help Desk at 1-800-427-6584\, or e-mail us at ERC@socalgas.com \n\n\n\n\n Add to Cart\n\n\n\n Add to Cart CA New 2025\, Title – 24 Codes & Standards – Residential (Virtual)
