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\nLinda Pierce\, California Association of Building Energy Consultants

SUMMARY:Minimizing Embodied Carbon by Design
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nThis class will be taught by Larry Strain and Chris Magwood\, two thought leaders in the field of embodied carbon. Both\, unusually\, have careers combining research and practice. Larry\, co-founder of the award-winning Bay Area architecture firm of Siegel & Strain\, for decades has infused his design practice with applied research as a means of creating buildings that are both beautiful and green. Larry will share his recent work\, focused on analyzing the relative carbon impacts of low-carbon renovation of existing buildings versus construction of new\, low-carbon/net-zero buildings. Chris\, a natural building pioneer\, serves as executive director of the Endeavour Centre\, a not-for-profit sustainable building school in Ontario\, Canada\, where he applies his research via teaching and construction of low/no-carbon buildings. Chris will present his recent work on construction methods that maximize carbon sequestration.   \n  \nLearning Objectives  \nAfter completing this class\, participants will be able to:  \n\nDescribe the significance and scale of embodied carbon within the context of building lifecycle emissions. \nArticulate the carbon value of reusing and retrofitting existing buildings as compared with constructing new ones. \nIncorporate carbon-sequestering construction methods into building designs.  \nEnumerate the non-energy\, non-climate benefits of both building reuse and adoption of the illustrated building methods and strategies.  \n\n  \n2 AIA|HSW LU’s are available for this course \nInstructors: \n\nLarry Strain\, Siegel & Strain Architects\nChris Magwood\, the Endeavour Centre
