SUMMARY:Residential Load Calcs and Duct Design for Building Departments
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nThe California Energy Code and Mechanical Code both require formal load calculations\, equipment selection\, and duct designs. Historically\, this has been poorly enforced because building departments have been at a loss for what to ask for and how to check it. With the rise of heat pump installations\, good design is even more important. More and more building departments are trying to enforce these requirements. This class will cover the design process\, what to ask for and what to check.  \nTarget audience: building department code enforcement personnel\, HVAC contractors\, HERS raters\, energy consultants. \nLearning Objectives:      \n\nReview the overall compliance process including prescriptive and performance approaches.\nUnderstand how HVAC fits into the overall compliance of homes.\nUnderstand the code requirements for residential HVAC design\nUnderstand the importance of proper equipment sizing\nUnderstand the importance of good airflow and duct design\nLearn how to prioritize your time checking these items.\n\n

SUMMARY:Accredited Green Appraiser Training
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nReceive 14-hours of Continuing Education Hours and the Accredited Green Appraiser Certification (FREE) \nJoin us to gain a wealth of cutting-edge knowledge\, including principles and practices that distinguish green buildings from traditional buildings\, methods for appraising high-performance homes\, and approaches to solve solar-related valuation problems. Additionally\, did you know the secondary mortgage market guidelines require this competency prior to accepting an assignment? Read on for full course details and registration information. \n  \nDay 1 Course | Appraising Green Homes: Construction Methods & Trends \nTuesday\, August 22nd | 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. \nThis course is designed to provide information on the rapidly expanding field of green building and introduce participants to all phases of green residential construction\, from proper siting of a home to finish material selection. The class begins with an overview of the history of green building and then explains its five key elements in detail. This will provide learners with an in-depth understanding of green building in order to equip you to competently analyze these properties in appraisal assignments. Day 1 course concludes with a discussion on green home certification programs\, guidelines and the possible impact on home appraisals. \n  \nDay 2 Course | Appraising Green Homes: Valuation Techniques and Advanced Applications \nWednesday\, August 23rd | 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. \nThis course is intended to provide appraisers with the information and resources needed to make well-supported and accurate valuation decisions for green properties. Day 2 course begins with an overview of the most current data available for the valuation of green homes\, then presents the cost approach as it applies to these properties. Participants will then perform an in-depth analysis of the sales comparison approach and valuation techniques that can be applied to green properties. \nThe latter part of the day uses the valuation techniques from earlier in the day and directly applies it to appraisal case studies\, which will provide tools that can be integrated into real-world practice. Upon passing a formal exam\, the student will be able to use the designation of Accredited Green Appraiser. \n  \n9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Virtual Classroom training ** Class will begin promptly at 9:00 A \n4 p.m. – 5 p.m. Closed-Book Quiz **** Must pass the quiz with 70% of higher to earn the designation and Continuing Education Hours approved by the Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers. \n  \nContinuing Education Hours approved by the Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers Upon completion of the three required courses and successfully passing the quizzes at the end of each course with a grade of 70% or higher\, you will receive 14 Continuing Education Hours approved by the Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers. \nRequirements \n\nBy registering for this training\, you agree to take the quizzes at the end of each course.\nYou must be a licensed Appraiser and be available to take both (2) courses.\nParticipants who take all three classes and pass the exam will be listed on the Earth Advantage’s Find a Professional.\nClass will begin promptly at 9:00 am.\n\n  \nMaintaining Your Accreditation \nAppraisers must earn 4 CEs in green real estate education every 2 yrs to maintain the AGA designation: \nYour renewal deadline is 2 years from the last day of the class. Renewals then re-occur in 2-year cycles. There are several opportunities to satisfy the CE requirements: \n  \nEarth Advantage Courses \nIf you took AGA before 2012\, we highly recommend that you take the updated course again as a refresher.

SUMMARY:Using Life Cycle Assessment & Embodied Carbon Calculators to Make Design and Product Choices
DESCRIPTION:Register \nThis hands-on training will equip participants with the practical knowledge and skills to leverage Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tools and embodied carbon (EC) calculators in the architectural design and construction process. The course will guide attendees through each phase of a project\, from conceptual design to the as-built stage\, highlighting the application and benefits of different LCA tools like EPIC\, Tally\, and EC3. In response to current market needs\, this training also includes an overview of other popular LCA tools\, their costs and capabilities\, and the situations in which they are most effective. Participants will learn how to utilize these tools to make informed design decisions\, foster constructive conversations within the project team\, and track the project’s embodied carbon footprint. Furthermore\, we will explore strategies for incentivizing low-carbon procurement and identifying opportunities for future improvement. The objective is to empower participants to effectively integrate LCA and EC considerations into their projects\, fostering a more sustainable and carbon-conscious built environment. \nLearning objectives  \n\nLearn how to use EC/LCA tools effectively at each phase of design and construction\nLearn how to communicate across the design and construction team about EC/LCA topics\nUnderstand what decisions at each phase can lead to lower EC footprint\nBe able to track\, look back\, and learn from challenges in addressing EC\n\n1 AIA|LU available for this course

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

SUMMARY:Building the Future: Electrification Strategies for Contractors and Architects
DESCRIPTION:Register \nElectrification is now the leading option for new buildings and major retrofit projects in California. 70+ municipalities have policies to phase out gas appliances and the state aims to have 6 million heat pumps installed by 2030. This will require a major paradigm shift in the way builders\, architects\, and related professionals approach the market. It also presents a giant opportunity to frame yourself or your business as an electrification expert. In this session\, Electrify My Home will discuss this transition and the related business opportunity for specifying and installing well-designed all-electric buildings. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \n\nExplain the importance of comprehensive electrification planning.\nList one reason why commissioning is important for HVAC systems.\nDescribe the benefit of keeping ductwork within the building enclosure.\n\n  \n1.5 AIA LU’s Approved for this course \n0.15 ICC CEU’s Pending for this Course \n\n  \nInstructor: \nLarry Waters\, Electrify My Home
