SUMMARY:Health and Resilience of Clean Energy Homes
DESCRIPTION:Register \nHomeowner interest in our capacity to control indoor air quality and increase resilience has skyrocketed. Ventilation has been elevated from bathrooms to main living areas\, from a few seconds of exhaust to continuous delivery of fresh filtered air. Concerns around the ability to shelter in place during extreme events range from far-flung rural areas to cities. \nAir pollutants like respiratory viruses and wildfire smoke can be prevented from entering and overwhelming a home. \nThe certainty of a steady supply of clean\, filtered air would mean fewer days missed from school and sports activities along with better grades for our kids\, increased performance at work for adults\, reduced medical expenses\, and positive impacts on our local economies. Health insurance companies acknowledge this and are more frequently investing in energy upgrades\, particularly in low-income housing\, as a risk reduction; proven to be more cost-effective than the expenses of emergency room care and illness. \nMany efficiency improvements go beyond energy savings\, they also make homes healthier and more resilient during power losses\, fires\, and extraordinary weather. \nIt’s also possible that an efficiency project if not installed correctly\, can cause health problems. \nThe EPA\, in response to new research and the escalation in interest and concerns\, has created a new department – “Energy Plus Health”. \nDo assets that result in home resiliency and occupant health contribute to market value? What does the market tell us? \nRE pros pursuing expertise in Clean Energy Homes will advance their knowledge of potential improvements in home health and resiliency resulting from common efficiency improvements\, expanding their credibility as expert guides for their customers. \nCourse Highlights \n\nHow common efficiency assets improve health and resiliency\nHome performance elements vital to indoor air quality\nHealthy Housing Principles\nSmoke infiltration prevention\nCase studies of homes that survived wildfires\nExamples of resiliency in power losses\nConsiderations in marketing and valuation\n\nLearning Objectives \n\nComprehend the beyond-energy benefits of efficiency assets\nUnderstand what to look for in inspections and interviews\nAccurately describe specific efficiency assets and how they deliver health and resiliency\nCommunicate beyond-efficiency benefits in appraisal reports and listings\nEnhance your communication effectiveness with real stories of people who have experienced health improvements and tests of resiliency\n\nAudience \n\nExperienced appraisers\nAgents\nHomeowners\nContractors\n\nLearning level: Novice-advanced RE pros \nInstructor: Debra Little

SUMMARY:Zoning for Heat Pumps – Strategies for Best Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:Register \nZoom link provided upon registration \nZone control is a popular strategy for addressing different climate zones in a home. Many customers and contractors newer to heat pumps are drawn to multi-split systems that utilize a single outdoor unit to run multiple air handlers\, but there can be unintended comfort sacrifices if not done carefully. In this webinar we will focus on various approaches to zone control for efficient and comfortable outcomes. We will compare traditional zoning with zone control\, multi-split systems\, multiple 1-to-1 systems\, and combinations of these solutions. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \n\nName one downside of installing a single multi-split outdoor unit instead of multiple outdoor units\nExplain why many mini split brands do not work well with traditional zone control\nDescribe one scenario where installing a multi-split unit makes sense\n\n  \n1.5 AIA LU’s Pending for this course \n0.15 ICC CEU’s Pending for this Course \n  \nInstructor: \nLarry Waters\, Electrify My Home
