SUMMARY:Is a Heat Pump Water Heater Right for Me?
DESCRIPTION:Register \nDisponible en español aquí. \nWelcome heat-pump-curious residents of the Central Coast! Join us to discuss the pros and cons of heat pump water heaters with expert Gregory Holladay and local residents that live with heat pump water heaters. \nWe will answer questions like: \n\nIs a heat pump water heater appropriate for my home?\nAre they really that much better than gas water heaters?\nShould I wait until my gas water heater burns out to upgrade?\nWill I need electrical work done?\nHow much do they cost to install—and how will my bills change?\nAre they really more affordable than gas water heaters?\nWho can install heat pump water heaters?\nWill I run out of hot water?\n\nOur guest speaker is Gregg Holladay\, an expert on heat pump water heaters who spent 32 years with General Electric (GE)\, where he introduced the first Energy Star electric heat pump water heater to the US market. Currently a Business Development Manager for Specialty Markets for Bradford White Water Heaters\, Gregg works to educate utilities\, architects\, builders\, engineers and the plumbing/HVAC trade on the benefits of Energy Star heat pump water heaters and currently serves as a member of the Energy Star Manufacturers Action Council.

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:Heat Pump Fundamentals: Space Conditioning and Water Heating - Class 4: High Performance Fundamentals Series
DESCRIPTION:Register \nThis is class 4 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. This series will be hosted twice throughout 2023.  \n  \nHaving gained a solid understanding of high-performance building enclosures from classes 1 through 3 in 3C-REN’s High Performance Fundamentals series\, participants are well-prepared for this class\, which will provide a foundation in the use of heat pumps for both space conditioning (heating and cooling) and water heating. The class will cover what a heat pump is and explain why heat pumps are essential elements of high performance buildings.

SUMMARY:High Performance Envelope + Balanced Ventilation
DESCRIPTION:Register \nThis is part 1 of a 2-part event on 5/3. Please arrive at 8:15am for complimentary coffee and pastries. \n  \nHigher-Performance Envelope + Balanced Ventilation \nEnergy performance is increasingly dependent on buildings that limit air infiltration\, but that is just one piece of higher performance roof and wall assembly. In this 3rd installment of our Higher-Performance series\, we will look at cost-effective strategies to make tight envelopes standard practice\, with special emphasis on thermal continuity and managing moisture. We will finish up with the partner to a tight envelope: balanced ventilation. \nLearning objectives: \n\nLearn the building science behind thermal bridging and air movement\, and the impacts on energy performance\, health\, and comfort\nLearn the application and benefits of rain screens in the central coast climate\nUnderstand options for Insulation and air and vapor barriers and best practices for each\nIdentify balanced ventilation strategies and the costs and benefits of each.\n\nAIA Continuing Education Units Available: 1 LU|HSW \n  \n

SUMMARY:Water Heating Distribution Best Practices - Class 5: High Performance Fundamentals Series
DESCRIPTION:Register \nThis is class 5 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. \nDo you have any customers who wait a long time to get hot water somewhere in their house? Do you know someone who is frustrated watching the water run down the drain while waiting when outdoor watering is restricted due to drought? Have you ever wondered why a shower sometimes feels wimpy and what you can do about it without adding a boost pump? And\, given the trend toward decarbonization\, how do you pick a water heater that will provide customer satisfaction and be energy efficient? Would you like to know how to solve these and related problems in existing buildings and prevent them in new ones? We will discuss the answers to these and other questions during this fast-paced class.   \n  \nLearning Objectives  \n  \nAfter attending this class\, participants will be able to:  \n\nIdentify the causes underlying occupants’ number one hot water complaint (it takes too long for hot water to get from a water heater to fixtures) and what can be done to fix the problem in existing homes and prevent it in new ones.  \nDescribe the value of the IAPMO Water Demand Calculator to right-size the plumbing in single-family and multifamily dwellings. \nAssist homeowners in selecting replacement water heaters that will meet their household needs as well as State climate goals. \nSummarize the variables that need to be evaluated when replacing an existing non-heat pump water heater with a heat pump model. \n\n  \n1.5 AIA|HSW LU’s available for this course \nInstructors: \n\nGary Klein\, Gary Klein & Associates

SUMMARY:Performance Testing of Forced Air HVAC Systems
DESCRIPTION:Register \nAs Winston Churchill once said: “However beautiful the strategy\, one should occasionally look at the results.” Whether testing in or testing out\, as Building Performance based practitioners we always need to measure our results rather than just hope for them to be successful. So\, what tests should be done to forced air heating and cooling systems to determine whether the installation is successful? What are the metrics for determining success? What equipment is needed to perform the tests? Let’s explore these questions and come away with essential tests that should be included in your energy audits\, your diagnostic testing bag of tricks and your HVAC commissioning protocol. \nInstructor: Judy Rachel\, Home Performance Pro \nVenue: To Be Announced – Location: Ventura County
