SUMMARY:Fire Resistant Homes: Smart Building Strategies for Risk Reduction and Energy Efficiency
DESCRIPTION:Register \nEvent Description \nWildfires are reshaping how Californians think about housing safety and resilience. In 2025\, two legal documents related to fire risk and real estate were updated\, DRE’s required Transfer Disclosure Statement requirements and CA’s T24 building code. Agents and appraisers will gain comprehension about fire resistant features and risk reduction strategies. \nWe’re seeing increasing evidence that features common to efficient\, higher performance homes are intrinsically fire resistant. Air tightness\, durable\, non-combustible roofs and cladding\, simple architectural forms\, no vents\, high performance windows… are recognized as contributing factors to homes that have survived fires as well as preventing smoke intrusion. Prevention of fires also helps prevent the air pollution and related emissions that impact human health. \nWe’ll explore features commonly installed to reduce risk of ignition as well as new innovations in materials and systems. We’ll look at examples of homes that survived fires and why\, plus some impressive completed rebuilds. \nLearning Objectives \nBy the end of the course\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify fire-resistant features\nUnderstand how common efficiency and performance measures increase fire resistance\nRecognize and discuss with clients the multiple health\, safety\, efficiency\, and resilience benefits of science-based principles such as air tightness and insulation\nApply this knowledge to home design and construction details and real estate decision-making\n\nLearning Units \n\nAIA LUs will apply for this course\n\nInstructors \nDebra Little\, AjO \nCourse Location \nZoom link provided upon registration

SUMMARY:Home Improvements for a Healthier\, Resilient\, and Clean-Energy Future
DESCRIPTION:Register \nEvent Description \nOverview of a new one-page guide for homeowners. With the premise that most home improvement projects have the potential to improve or harm performance\, it’s helpful to be informed of basic building science principles. The class will spotlight the benefits many homeowners look to achieve\, a recommended order of steps to take\, and building details in a range of improvements. Homeowners can meet their goals and enjoy their benefits while reducing emissions. \nThe guide was created to serve two purposes: \n1. To inform homeowners in the early process of planning improvements to existing homes. To provide a descriptive path to increasing performance while reducing emissions\, mindful of the whole-house approach. While not exhaustive\, the intent is to raise awareness of the complete A-Z considerations in a short take-away info sheet. Much of the public messaging in recent years has focused on electrification but has left out the foundational principles of high-performance enclosures\, which are so essential to optimal outcomes. \n2. In response to a question\, I’ve often heard expressed\, “I’m concerned about climate change\, but what can I do as an individual?” The guide illustrates ways we can reduce emissions within our households. Our climate actions can start with our own homes! \nThere are two versions of the guide with the subtitles tailored to each purpose. The one-page\, two-sided guide in hard copy will also be accessible online with live links to resources. In addition to homeowners\, the guide is useful as an educational tool for contractors\, programs and outreach organizations\, building departments\, and Realtors. \nLearning Objectives \n• Attendees will be equipped with a handy one-page guide designed for homeowners. The guide is also useful to contractors and others as an educational tool to share with their customers.\n• Attendees will comprehend the myriad benefits to both house and occupants of higher performance homes. We’ll address the topic of increased market value\, not often delineated from a professional standpoint.\n• Attendees will be cognizant of a recommended\, science-informed\, step-by-step process of implementation that typically makes the most practical and cost-effective sense\, while also encouraged to tailor their choices to personal priorities.\n• Attendees will be aware of the fundamental elements of a highly efficient enclosure\, what switching to all-electric mechanical systems looks like\, and how to attain low to zero greenhouse gas emissions with solar plus batteries. \nLearning Units  \nN/A \nInstructors \nDebra Little\, AjO \nCourse Location \nZoom link provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:The Practical Guide to All-Electric Residential Buildings (Part 1): Why All-Electric\, Solar\, Cooking
DESCRIPTION:Register \nEvent Description \nThe case for building all-electric is stronger than ever. All-electric homes are cheaper to build and operate\, healthier and more comfortable to live in\, and have GHG emissions roughly half that of mixed-fuel homes. The 2025 California Energy Code makes heat pumps standard statewide\, which will accelerate adoption of all-electric buildings. This 2-part class will show why electric homes facilitate easier energy code compliance. Taught by two instructors who have built all-electric homes for themselves\, and will broadcast live from in front of their heat pump water heaters and induction stoves\, you’ll get an insider view of how to design and build electric homes\, including examples from their professional work\, how to overcome common objections and obstacles\, and lessons learned from the field. Attendees will gain a better understanding of the technologies that enable all-electric homes\, including heat pump heating and cooling\, heat pump water heaters\, induction cooking\, and heat pump clothes dryers. \nLearning Objectives \n\nWhy All-Electric homes are superior to typical mixed fuel homes in terms of cost\, health\, emissions\, and quality of life\nKey products and systems used in all-electric homes (heat pumps for space conditioning\, heat pump water heaters\, induction cooktops\, and electric clothes dryers)\nHow to model all-electric systems for Title 24 compliance\nCost-effectiveness of all-electric designs compared to traditional designs\nSingle-family and multifamily examples plus remodels and ADUs\nQuality of life reasons to consider all-electric designs\n\nLearning Units \n\n1.50 AIA LUs will apply for this course\n0.15 ICC CEUs will apply for this course\n\nInstructors  \nNick Brown\, Build Smart Group \nRobert Fortunato\, ForStrategy Consulting\, Inc. \nCourse Location \nZoom link provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:Reducing Carbon Emissions from MEP Systems
DESCRIPTION:Register \nEvent Description \nAs we move to reduce carbon emissions from our buildings and align with California carbon-reduction goals\, we often overlook the impacts\, and opportunities\, in mechanical\, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems beyond upfront energy efficiency. Emerging data\, however\, is giving us a fuller picture of how MEP design\, system specifications and refrigerants contribute to emissions and how alternative design strategies can reduce those impacts. This course highlights the issues for designers\, owners and engineers and proposes opportunities and solutions for residential and non-residential construction. \nLearning Units \n\n1 AIA HSW LU pending for this course\n0.1 ICC LU pending for this course\n1 ZNCD LU approved for this course\n\nInstructor \nJennifer Rennick\, In Balance Green Consulting \nCourse Location  \nZoom link provided upon registration
