SUMMARY:What Energy Consultants Need to Know About QII
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nThis course will cover what Energy Consultants need to know about Quality Insulation Installation (QII) to best their clients meet the Title 24 Energy Code. QII is much more than just doing a good job installing insulation.  It requires pre-planning and a lot of coordination between multiple trades.  This class will discuss the important things to look for and how to use the compliance documents (CF2R forms) as invaluable checklists. \n Instructor: Russ King\, Coded Energy \nLearning Objectives: \n·       Understand the requirements of QII \n·       Understand who is involved in making QII pass \n·       Understand the importance of coordination and logistics with QII \n·       Understand where QII is most likely to fail and how to avoid it.

SUMMARY:Breaking Barriers - Energy Friendly Permitting (Regional Forum)
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\n \nEnergy efficiency and electrification projects have become a focus across the state. Permitting is a necessary step to ensure we are meeting our goals\, but is also a significant barrier.   \nIn this virtual forum\, we will have speakers share best practices and strategies for permitting processes\, which may include transitioning to online permitting\, virtual inspection\, energy friendly permit programs\, and more. Speakers will also address common challenges to permitting for electrification\, e.g. setbacks\, noise levels\, panel sizing/utility pushback.   \nJoin 3C-REN in identifying obstacles\, solutions\, and resources for our region through facilitated discussion.

SUMMARY:Heat Pumps for Homeowners – Products & Selection
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nHeat Pumps are quickly gaining traction as a preferred HVAC and water heating technology. California has a goal for 6 million installed heat pumps by 2030\, and state plans indicate that new gas furnace and water heaters will not be permitted after 2030. \nWhile the path forward for heat pumps seems clear\, many homeowners are looking to become more familiar with the technology. How do they work\, what options are available\, and what works best for different homes and for the central coast climate? In this webinar\, you’ll hear from Larry Waters\, who will answer all these questions and more! Larry is an HVAC industry veteran who’s installed nothing but heat pumps since 2015. \n3C-REN staff will also join to help you access all available incentives to make electrification affordable.

SUMMARY:Addressing the Energy-Water Nexus: Zero Net Carbon Design Series
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nThe Zero Net Carbon Design (ZNCD) Series\, will begin with the background and an overview of carbon in the building industry\, then focus content on energy performance and renewable energy\, water-savings as energy-savings\, embodied carbon\, and finally regenerative design. \n  \nThe courses have been developed to fulfill the new California requirement for architects to have five hours of ZNCD education as part of their license renewal. Although created with architects in mind\, the content is broadly applicable across the building industry. \n  \nThere are 1.0 HSW|LUs available per class\, we encourage you to register for the rest of the series for the full 5 hours of learning units.  \n  \nClass 3: Addressing the Energy-Water Nexus \n  \nReducing the use of water for buildings\, especially hot water\, has been shown to be more effective in reducing in energy use than many strategies that focus on lighting and HVAC. In this course\, we’ll review the energy-water nexus and provide examples of water-use reduction through indoor fixture and equipment choices\, landscape design and graywater systems.  \n  \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nBe able to describe the energy-water nexus \nQuantify indoor and outdoor water use for different project types \nIdentify and compare water saving strategies \nBuild awareness of recycled water options \n\nPresenters include: \n\nJennifer Rennick\, AIA\, Certified Energy Analyst\nAndy Pease\, AIA\, LEED AP BD+C\nMichelle Zimney\, LEED AP BD+C\, LFA\, CPHC\n\nIf interested\, you can sign-up for the following classes.

SUMMARY:The Case for Practical Home Performance Electrification
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nThe best outcomes for heat pumps and home electrification come through careful planning and incorporation of multiple facets of a building. Understanding the intersection of energy efficiency and performance is critical to ensuring comfort\, low operational costs\, and avoidance of major grid infrastructure upgrades.  \nThis webinar will focus on the interdependence of building systems and how addressing multiple components of a home through phased or integrated upgrades is optimal and easily achievable.  \n   \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nDefine the air barrier\, pressure boundary\, and thermal boundary \nExplain two ways “box swapping” a heat pump for an existing furnace can go wrong \nExplain the importance of performing complete load calculations \nList two of the top four areas of focus for proper heat pump installations \n\n  \n2 AIA LU’s available for this course  \n.20 ICC CEU’s available for this course \n  \nInstructors:  \nLarry Waters\, Electrify My Home  \nAlex Sloan\, Electrify My Home

SUMMARY:Recovery Ventilators: Energy Savings and Compliance Credit in the 2022 Energy Code
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nImproved health and cognitive performance. Easier Title 24 compliance. Utility bill savings. These are the reasons to consider incorporating Heat Recovery Ventilators & Energy Recovery Ventilators (collectively Recovery Ventilators or RVs) into your next high-performance home project. \n  \nNick Brown\, the instructor installed his first RV in his home during COVID\, when his daughter and two friends did their schoolwork from the office together. CO2 levels spiked in the early afternoon in that room\, because only Title 24 minimum mechanical ventilation was designed into the house. He solved the problem by installing a Heat Recovery Ventilator and has advocated for these systems ever since. The new All-electric ADU he built has one\, as well\, and we will draw on these experiences and data gathered from these units to better understand these mechanical ventilation systems and their benefits. \n  \nWe will also go over how to add an RV to a Title 24 compliance energy model and the change in energy use that results. We’ll present various configurations of RVs\, including through-the-wall paired units\, packaged HRVs and packaged ERVs\, and various ducting options. \n  \nLearning Outcomes: \n\nUnderstand the basics of how Recovery Ventilators (RVs) work to improve indoor air quality in homes and reduce heating and cooling energy use\nLearn the energy code requirements for mechanical ventilation and how RVs produce a Title 24 compliance credit\nModel a case study home using RVs and examine the energy use in various configurations\nHear best practices for specifying and installing RVs\n\nLearning Units: \n1.5 AIA LU pending for this course \n0.15 ICC CEU approved for this course \n  \nInstructor: \nNick Brown\, Build Smart Group

SUMMARY:Preparing For Home Electrification
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nHomeowners around the world are beginning to embrace electrification (the switch from gas-fired to electric-powered appliances). When done correctly\, home electrification brings a plethora of benefits including better air quality\, improved comfort\, lower environmental footprint\, and in many cases quieter operation.  \n  \nThe path to going all-electric can take many forms. For some\, this means upgrading one appliance at a time; for others\, it means replacing them all at once and offsetting electrical loads with on-site solar. Regardless of the timeline\, there are some important planning steps that should take place related to electrical panel optimization\, appliance location\, and considerations for maximizing efficiency.  \n  \nIn this webinar\, you’ll hear from Larry Waters\, who will provide guidance to help you plan for your electrification journey. Larry is an HVAC industry veteran who’s installed nothing but heat pumps since 2015. \n3C-REN staff will also join to help you access all available incentives to make electrification affordable. \n
