SUMMARY:Health and Resilience of Clean Energy Homes
DESCRIPTION:Register \nEvent Description \nHomeowner interest in our capacity to maintain healthy indoor air quality and increase resilience has skyrocketed since COVID and the proliferation of wildfires. Concerns around the ability to shelter in place during extreme events range from far-flung rural areas to cities. Air pollutants like respiratory viruses and wildfire smoke can be prevented from entering and overwhelming a home. The certainty of a steady supply of clean\, filtered air would mean fewer days missed from school and sports activities along with better grades for our kids\, increased performance at work for adults\, reduced medical expenses\, and positive impacts on our local economies. Health insurance companies acknowledge this and are more frequently investing in energy upgrades\, particularly in low-income housing\, as a risk reduction; proven to be more cost-effective than the expenses of emergency room care and illness. Many efficiency improvements go beyond energy savings\, they also make homes healthier and more resilient during power losses\, fires\, and extraordinary weather. It’s also possible that an efficiency project if not installed correctly\, can cause health problems. Do assets that increase home resiliency and occupant health contribute to market value? \nRE pros pursuing expertise in Clean Energy Homes will advance their knowledge of potential improvements in home health and resiliency resulting from common efficiency improvements\, expanding their credibility as expert guides for their customers. \nLearning Objectives \n\nHow common efficiency assets improve health and resiliency\nHome performance elements vital to indoor air quality\nHealthy housing principles\nSmoke infiltration prevention\nCase studies of homes that survived wildfires\nExamples of resiliency in power losses\nConsiderations in marketing and valuation\n\nLearning Units\n3.0 DRE CEUs Approved for this course\n3.0 BREA CEUs Approved for this course \nInstructor\nDebra Little\, Ajo \nCourse Location\nZoom link provided upon registration

SUMMARY:Home Improvements for a Healthier\, Resilient\, and Clean-Energy Future: A One-Page Guide for Homeowners
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: \n\nTo 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.\nIn 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!\n\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\nAttendees 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.\nAttendees 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.\nAttendees 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.\nAttendees 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.\n\nAudience \n\nHomeowners\nContractors: The guide is a communication tool to share with their clients\nRealtors\, programs\n\n  \nInstructor \nDebra Little is a home performance and valuation specialist with field experience in both appraising and energy efficiency. Since building her own home in 2007\, her work has focused on high efficiency\, low emissions\, and related health benefits. Debra develops and presents courses for real estate professionals on the technology\, valuation\, and market representation\, of high performance assets and solar (Public utilities\, professional associations\, conferences). Certifications: CA Certified Appraiser; Building Performance Institute\, Building Analyst and Healthy Homes Principles; Build It Green\, Green Point Rater; IDECC\, Certified Distance Education Instructor. \nCourse Location \nZoom link provided upon registration
