SUMMARY:The Value of Becoming a Certified Energy Analyst (CEA)
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nDescription: With California being at the forefront of energy efficiency and having one of the most stringent building energy codes in the country\, documenting and verifying compliance with these standards has become increasingly more complicated. \n \nSince energy saving goals set by the State largely depend on compliance with the Energy Code (Title 24\, Part 6)\, accurate analysis and documentation is necessary to ensure these goals are achieved. \n \nThe new construction market in California predominantly utilizes the performance approach for analyzing and documenting compliance\, which requires a special set of skills to accurately model projects using State approved software. \n \nCurrently\, there are no requirements for individuals to obtain special training\, or to be certified to prepare compliance documentation.   \n \nJoin us as we explore the role and responsibilities of a Title 24\, Part 6 energy consultant\, benefits of becoming a Certified Energy Analyst (CEA) and the steps it takes to become certified. \n \nThis presentation will also focus on the importance of accuracy when it comes to energy modeling and what’s currently being done to increase the value of the CEA Program.   \n \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nUnderstand the role and responsibilities of documenting compliance with California’s Energy Code (Title 24\, Part 6). \nUnderstand the benefits\, pathway and minimum qualifications of becoming a Certified Energy Analyst (CEA). \nUnderstand the importance of accuracy of energy modeling for compliance with the Energy Code. \nUnderstand what’s being done to elevate the role of a CEA similar to that of a HERS rater\, or Acceptance Test Technician. \n\nInstructors: \n\nBrian Selby\, California Association of Building Energy Consultants

SUMMARY:Whole House Assessment: The Home Energy Audit Explained
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nMeasured Home Performance is different from other approaches to saving energy and making money in the home improvement industry. The principal difference is the measured results of home performance contracting\, as opposed to the hoped-for benefits offered by other contracting services.   \nThe measured home performance process begins with a thorough examination of the home using diagnostic test equipment to measure the current performance of the home and its mechanical systems with the goal of obtaining all the information needed to present a proposal\, which will save energy and meet the other needs of the homeowner.    \nA clear understanding of how a home is performing takes much more than just a clipboard and a stroll around the house. In this session we will go through the process\, exploration\, and testing necessary to perform a comprehensive Home Energy Audit.  \nLearning Objectives:  \n1)  Attendees will have an outline for a comprehensive Whole House Energy Audit  \n2)  Participants will leave this session with the ability to perform a utility bill disaggregation  \n3)  An introduction to the diagnostic test equipment and the performance testing of a home and it’s mechanical systems  \n4)  Be given a sense of the structure of an effective proposal and work scope developed from the information and data gathered throughout the Home Energy Audit  \n2 AIA LU’s available for this course \n2 ICC LU’s available for this course \nInstructors: \n\nJudy Rachel\, Home Performance Pro

SUMMARY:Enclosure Best Practices: Roofs\, Walls\, and Floors
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\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\n2 AIA HSW|LU Pending for this course

SUMMARY:Introduction to High Performance Buildings & Careers
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nCourse Description: \nCode compliance is a minimum standard for building performance; by contrast\, “high performance” refers to buildings that are designed\, built\, and commissioned to achieve above-code\, optimized performance. The magnitude of the opportunity to fill this gap cannot be over-emphasized. For example\, field research found that a single-day high-performance retrofit can improve HVAC system performance in new homes by an average of 25%. While the mainstream building industry strives for code compliance\, a small fraction of those in the industry adopt high-performance practices and produce homes and commercial facilities with lower energy use\, greater resilience\, exceptional durability\, outstanding comfort\, and zero onsite emissions. These individuals are consistently in demand\, command higher wages\, win awards\, and have the satisfaction of building a better world for themselves\, their families\, and communities. The secret sauce? Setting quantitative goals\, measuring performance\, and marketing the superior outcomes. This class is an introduction to the opportunities presented by working in the realm of high-performance buildings\, and how to create a place for yourself within that realm. It will also introduce 3C-REN’s new High Performance Fundamentals Program\, which will continue to be rolled out throughout 2022.  \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nAfter attending this class\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain the concept of high performance building and the roles of ‘building as a system\,’ building science\, and quantitative assessment in achieving high performance\nUnderstand the connections between high performance building\, human health\, resiliency\, climate change mitigation\, and State energy and climate regulatory trends\nEnumerate the multiple benefits of adopting a high-performance approach to building design\, construction\, and commissioning\, including providing quantitative examples of improvements that can be achieved by adopting a high-performance approach\nBegin transitioning to high-performance building practices \n\n  \n2 AIA HSW|LU’s available for this event \n  \nInstructors: \n\nRick Chitwood\, Chitwood Energy Management\nAnn Edminster\, Design AVEnues LLC

SUMMARY:Common Inspection Issues for Small Solar PV and Energy Storage Installs
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nEvent Description: \nCome brush up on best practices for achieving quick\, successful\, and energy-code compliant solar and battery inspections. Industry expert Bill Brooks will provide a 1.5 hour training addressing the most common failings at inspection of single family PV solar and battery installs. \nWith expedited solar permitting mandated by AB 2188\, and many jurisdictions utilizing standard checklists for permits\, inspectors and installers are seeing an increase of in-field failed inspections. \nThis training is intended for both building department review & inspection staff as well as local installers and system designers to help levelize expectations\, increase the pass rate of inspections\, and ultimately lower the cost of installs across all local jurisdictions. This training is offered in partnership between 3CREN and City of Santa Barbara. \nInstructor: \n\nBill Brooks\, PE\, is Principal of Brooks Engineering and has over 32 years of experience designing\, installing\, and evaluating grid-connected PV systems. He has written numerous technical manuals and articles for the PV industry that are widely used throughout the United States and beyond. He has trained over 15\,000 contractors and code officials over the past 25 years. He was the lead technical advisor developing the IAEI PV Online Training for Code Officials (PVOT). His publications include the Expedited Permit Process for PV Systems\, the Field Inspection Guidelines for PV Systems\, and Understanding the CalFire Solar PV Installation Guidelines
