SUMMARY:Flexible Dates: Become a HERS Rater
DESCRIPTION:INTEREST FORM​\n\n3C-REN has partnered with CalCERTS\, Inc. to offer HERS (Home Energy Rating System) Rater training for FREE* to qualified candidates across the tri-counties!   \nAs the California Energy Code (Title 24 Part 6) becomes more stringent\, HERS Raters are essential to the construction process as trusted third-party reviewers of the performance of a building’s major energy-using appliances.   \nCandidates will learn to conduct the following tests to verify the performance of various building systems:  \n\nDuct Tests \nBlower Door Tests \nQuality Insulation Installation (QII) \nFan Efficacy/Watt Draw \nRefrigerant Charge Verification \nSolar System Verification \nAnd more! \n\nHERS certification has several tracts depending on the individual’s focus. Pathways include:  \n\nHERS Residential Alterations \nHERS New Construction \nHERS Solar \nHERS II – Whole House Rater + CA RESNET \nHERS Nonresidential  \n\nA high school diploma or GED is recommended for enrolling in this training opportunity. For more information about what a HERS Rater does\, visit WWW.CALCERTS.COM to find a detailed course listing\, definitions\, resources\, job qualifications\, and more.   \nTo sign up for this training fill out the interest form. 3C-REN staff will follow up to schedule a short discussion about your experience and career trajectory.  \n*3C-REN will fully pay for training in partnership with CalCERTS\, Inc. Candidates will be responsible for any field house and EPA 608 examination fees\, which typically range from $200 to $325. Exams include: HERS Residential Alterations Compliance Fieldhouse and EPA 608 Universal Certification Core and Type II. These exams are required to become a HERS Rater in California and to handle refrigerants (EPA 608). In addition\, 3C-REN will require candidates to complete a brief bi-annual survey for one year\, detailing their experience after the class.

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: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
