SUMMARY:Getting Past Heat Pump Objections
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nHeat Pumps are quickly gaining traction as a preferred HVAC and water heating technology\, but many customers and contractors are unfamiliar with heat pumps or remain skeptical. In order to meet California’s ambitious heat pump goals (6 million by 2030)\, contractors and other industry professionals must arm themselves with the knowledge (and sometimes the data) to dispel myths about heat pumps.  \nIn this webinar\, you’ll hear from Larry Waters\, an HVAC industry veteran who switched his focus towards home performance in 2010 and towards inverter heat pumps in 2014. With over 400 heat pump installations under his belt\, Larry’s heard just about every objection in the book and will relay best practices for responding to such objections.  \n   \nLearning Objectives  \n\nExplain why understanding a customer’s personality profile is important \nList one of the first steps to take before addressing an objection \nDescribe one reason why older vintage heat pumps spoiled the opinions of some customers & HVAC pros \nOffer one alternative solution for a customer who does not want a wall-mounted mini split \n\n  \n2 AIA LU’s available for this course  \n.20 ICC CEU’s available for this course  \n  \nInstructors:  \nLarry Waters\, Electrify My Home  \nAlex Sloan\, Electrify My Home

SUMMARY:The Power of Existing Buildings
DESCRIPTION:[button title=”Register” link=”https://3cren.my.salesforce-sites.com/event/home/phcaexistingbuildings” new_tab=”yes”] \nThe Power of Existing Buildings: Save Money\, Improve Health\, and Reduce Environmental Impacts\nCarl Elefante was right when he said\, “no amount of new green construction will get us where we need to go if we ignore existing buildings.”  Four out of five existing buildings will require renovation over the next generation. Well-planned\, deep energy retrofits ensure cost-effectiveness\, longevity\, and comfort.    \n Existing buildings have the power to meaningfully change the calculus of reaching a zero emissions future.  In order to ensure the costs of electrification and the cleaning of grids around the country do not put undo financial burdens on building owners and tenants\, commercial and residential buildings must significantly reduce demand.  Most existing buildings can reduce their current operating carbon by 70-80% provided owners and developers take a strategic and holistic approach to decarbonization.    \n This session will provide a series of “no-regrets” moves\, using building science and data science tools\, that every owner of a building or portfolio of buildings can take to properly prioritize investments in their existing buildings for the purpose of optimizing financial returns and building performance returns. Building performance components considered include energy/operating carbon\, occupant health and wellness and building resilience.    \n Policy makers will continue to escalate the financial and social pressures to decarbonize existing buildings because they are a critical part of reducing the overall financial\, environmental\, and social risks of a zero emissions future.  It makes sense to have a holistic plan before you start investing in individual tactics.   \n  \nLearning Objectives \n\nAttendees will be introduced to the underlying logic\, strategies\, tactics\, and tools for planning and goal setting to achieve optimal decarbonization\, indoor air quality and resilience in the retrofitting of existing buildings. \nAttendees will learn about the integration of building science and data science to optimize the retrofitting of a building for continued use — or for transition to a different use (office building to multifamily building for example). \nAttendees will also be informed about prioritizing the order of moving forward with the retrofitting of multiple buildings (each building optimized individually) for the most cost-effective and environmentally responsible outcomes. \n\n1 AIA LU pending for this course \nEvent Hosted by:\n \nInstructors:\nBeth Eckenrode\, AUROS Group \nCraig Stevenson\, AUROS Group \n

SUMMARY:Crafting High Performance Enclosures: Roofs\, Walls\, and Floors - Class 3 High Performance Fundamentals Series
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nThis is class 3 of 6 in 3C-REN’s High Performance Fundamentals Certificate series. Earn a 3C-REN certificate of completion after finishing the series and passing short quizzes at the end of each class.  \n  \nBuilding enclosures – the roof\, walls\, and floor – are the first line of defense between nature and people. Enclosure performance is optimized when air sealing and insulation – two underappreciated and typically underperforming features – are done to high-performance standards rather than the status quo. The preceding class in our High Performance Fundamentals program (How Buildings Work; Science and Buildings and Science in Buildings) covered the scientific principles needed to effectively design high-performance buildings. This class covers installation — the practical application of those principles on the job site – the hands-on activities that differentiate ‘business-as-usual’ from high-performance construction. These include best practices for air sealing\, insulation installation\, and window installation\, along with the tools and methods (e.g.\, blower door testing) used to measure the quality of work\, and the metrics against which the work can be evaluated.   \n  \nLearning Objectives  \nAfter attending this class\, participants will be able to:  \n\nDescribe preferred methods and materials used for air sealing different types of building openings\, and how to test the results; \nExplain the difference between conventional insulation practices and “Quality Insulation Installation (QII)” methods\, and how QII is verified; \nIdentify five common building enclosure installation flaws and how to avoid them.  \nQuantify the magnitude of the gap between minimum energy code compliance and high performance\, where all energy features are confirmed with building performance test methods. \n\nInstructors: \n\nJudy Rachel\, Home Performance Pro

SUMMARY:Regenerative Design in Practice: Zero Net Carbon Design Series
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nThe Zero Net Carbon Design (ZNCD) Series\, will begin with the background and an overview of carbon in the building industry\, then focus content on energy performance and renewable energy\, water-savings as energy-savings\, embodied carbon\, and finally regenerative design. \n  \nThe courses have been developed to fulfill the new California requirement for architects to have five hours of ZNCD education as part of their license renewal. Although created with architects in mind\, the content is broadly applicable across the building industry. \n  \nThere are 1.0 HSW|LUs available per class\, we encourage you to register for the rest of the series for the full 5 hours of learning units.  \n  \nClass 5: Regenerative Design in Practice \n  \nCalifornia’s carbon reduction goals reach beyond energy performance to include equity\, natural solutions for carbon sequestration\, and conservation of resources. Using the Living Building Challenge and local examples\, we’ll explore the exciting potential for regenerative design.  \n  \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nBe able to differentiate regenerative vs. sustainable\, in standards and certifications \nUnderstand net positive energy\, water and materials through the Living Building Challenge framework \nBuild awareness of Equity in design and construction practices \nIdentify strategies for natural sequestration and biophilic design elements.\n\nPresenters include: \n\nJennifer Rennick\, AIA\, Certified Energy Analyst\nAndy Pease\, AIA\, LEED AP BD+C\nMichelle Zimney\, LEED AP BD+C\, LFA\, CPHC\n\nIf interested\, you can sign-up for the following classes. All classes are scheduled from 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM. \n\n5/23: Targeting Zero Net Carbon\n6/20: Energy Performance for Zero Net Carbon Operations\n7/18: Addressing the Energy-Water Nexus\n8/31: Reducing Embodied Carbon\n9/19: Regenerative Design in Practice

SUMMARY:Using Building Science to Design and Build High Performance Homes - Class 2: High Performance Fundamentals Series
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nThis is class 2 of 6 in 3C-REN’s High Performance Fundamentals Certificate series. Earn a 3C-REN certificate of completion after finishing the series and passing short quizzes at the end of each class.  \n  \nDescription: Most of us either have or would like to forget our high school biology\, chemistry\, and physical science. But believe it or not\, it’s spot on to translate that science into how buildings actually work. This course applies essential building science principles to the design and construction of climate-tuned\, resilient\, top-value homes that are better for owners\, better for the environment\, and better for your work as building professionals.  \nWhat’s “better value” for owners\, the environment\, and you? Using science to integrate energy efficiency\, thermal comfort\, moisture management\, durability\, and resilience.   \n  \nLearning Objectives  \nAfter attending this class\, participants will be able to:  \n\nExplain how high school-level physical\, chemical\, and biological principles are expressed in buildings. \nProvide at least two basic examples of building science in action in a typical home or office. \nConvey how building science influences building performance with at least two basic examples. \nAssess the level of building performance of a student’s own home or office using class resources. \n\n  \n1.5 AIA|HSW LU’s available for this course \n  \nInstuctor: \nPeter Yost\, Building – Wright
