SUMMARY:Heat Pump Fundamentals: Space Conditioning and Water Heating
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\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. Special attention will be paid to refrigerants: how heat pumps use them\, how to avoid leaks through proper installation\, and why it’s important to avoid leaks due to the damage they can cause to contractor profitability and the planet. An overview will be provided to aid in selecting\, sizing\, installing\, and commissioning heat pump equipment\, so that it performs as intended. Note: You are not required to have attended classes 1 through 3 to attend this event. \n  \nAfter attending this class\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe in lay language what a heat pump is\, its benefits\, and how it works;\nDescribe the environmental consequence of releasing small quantities of refrigerant to the atmosphere;\nDefine heat pump performance metrics and variables that differentiate different models;\nExplain the process of sizing and selecting a heat pump;\nList\, in order\, the steps for installing and commissioning a heat pump. \n\n2 AIA HSW|LU Pending for this course

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:Stay Cool This Summer with Higher-Performing Air Conditioning: Local residents share their experiences with heat pumps for space heating and cooling
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nAttention Central Coast Residents! \n\nAre you one of 50% of Californians who will need to upgrade or replace a natural gas furnace or old air conditioning unit in the near future?\nDo you know the options available\, including high-performing electric heat-pump units?\nAre you interested in hearing from real homeowners about their switch to all-electric heat pump appliances?\n\nHeat pump space conditioning units are ultra-efficient appliances\, widely adopted in Europe and Asia\, that use electricity instead of natural gas to both heat and cool your home. Many homeowners in the U.S. are switching over to heat pumps as they offer safer operations\, superior technology\, and lower electric bills. \nThis 1-hour webinar will provide an overview of all-electric heat pump appliances and stories from real homeowners who have installed heat pumps. You’ll also learn about local incentives that greatly reduce the cost of heat pumps and get connected with contractors to complete your project. \nThe event will address four central questions\, including: \n\nWhat are heat pumps and why should I get one?\nHow much does a heat pump cost?\nHow do I find a heat pump contractor?\nWhat do heat pump owners have to say about their new appliances?\n\nEvent In Partnership With: \n         \nReady to make an upgrade? Learn more and connect with a 3C-REN Single Family Program Contractor HERE. \nWant to try a DIY upgrade? Learn more and check out a 3C-REN toolkit or induction cooktop HERE. \nIf you are interested in learning more about heat pump appliances before the event\, please visit https://www.switchison.org. \n

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
