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: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: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.

The class begins with an overview of the history of green building and then explains its five key elements in detail. This will provide learners with an in-depth understanding of green building in order to equip you to competently analyze these properties in appraisal assignments. Day 1 course concludes with a discussion on green home certification programs\, guidelines and the possible impact on home appraisals. \n  \nDay 2 Course | Appraising Green Homes: Valuation Techniques and Advanced Applications \nWednesday\, August 23rd | 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. \nThis course is intended to provide appraisers with the information and resources needed to make well-supported and accurate valuation decisions for green properties. Day 2 course begins with an overview of the most current data available for the valuation of green homes\, then presents the cost approach as it applies to these properties. Participants will then perform an in-depth analysis of the sales comparison approach and valuation techniques that can be applied to green properties. \nThe latter part of the day uses the valuation techniques from earlier in the day and directly applies it to appraisal case studies\, which will provide tools that can be integrated into real-world practice. Upon passing a formal exam\, the student will be able to use the designation of Accredited Green Appraiser. \n  \n9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Virtual Classroom training ** Class will begin promptly at 9:00 A \n4 p.m. – 5 p.m. Closed-Book Quiz **** Must pass the quiz with 70% of higher to earn the designation and Continuing Education Hours approved by the Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers. \n  \nContinuing Education Hours approved by the Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers Upon completion of the three required courses and successfully passing the quizzes at the end of each course with a grade of 70% or higher\, you will receive 14 Continuing Education Hours approved by the Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers. \nRequirements \n\nBy registering for this training\, you agree to take the quizzes at the end of each course.\nYou must be a licensed Appraiser and be available to take both (2) courses.\nParticipants who take all three classes and pass the exam will be listed on the Earth Advantage’s Find a Professional.\nClass will begin promptly at 9:00 am.\n\n  \nMaintaining Your Accreditation \nAppraisers must earn 4 CEs in green real estate education every 2 yrs to maintain the AGA designation: \nYour renewal deadline is 2 years from the last day of the class. Renewals then re-occur in 2-year cycles. There are several opportunities to satisfy the CE requirements: \n  \nEarth Advantage Courses \nIf you took AGA before 2012\, we highly recommend that you take the updated course again as a refresher.

SUMMARY:Home Electrification Planning - Class 1: Soup to Nuts
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nAs California makes the transition to electrification\, careful planning will be crucial for existing buildings. This three-part series will cover the importance of electrification planning\, how to optimize existing electrical capacity to avoid costly and often unnecessary panel upgrades\, selecting the most efficient equipment that will keep homeowners comfortable and happy\, and putting together a comprehensive\, detailed\, and customized plan that will set homeowners and contractors up for success. \n  \nThe best way to achieve a desired outcome is to create a plan for getting there. This first webinar of the series will focus on what an electrification plan is\, why it is important\, and how it is done. It will also cover two methods for calculating heating loads to properly size a HVAC system. \nLearning Objectives: \nAfter attending this class\, participants will be able to: \n–         Explain the importance of electrification planning \n–         List five important question to ask homeowners \n–         Explain benefits and drawbacks of Manual J and historical gas usage methods for calculating heating load \n–         Name the appliances or systems in a home that can be electrified or add electrical load

This three-part series will cover the importance of electrification planning\, how to optimize existing electrical capacity to avoid costly and often unnecessary panel upgrades\, selecting the most efficient equipment that will keep homeowners comfortable and happy\, and putting together a comprehensive\, detailed\, and customized plan that will set homeowners and contractors up for success. \n  \nDespite popular beliefs\, increasing panel capacity in order to electrify a home is not always necessary. Many homes can be fully electrified on existing panel capacity if the panel space is optimized. The second webinar of the series will focus on determining the existing load\, incorporating planned electrification upgrades\, and optimizing existing electrical panel capacity\, which will save homeowners from having to make costly upgrades\, and protect the grid from being overburdened and requiring major infrastructure upgrades. \nLearning Objectives:  \nAfter attending this class\, participants will be able to: \n–         Explain how to calculate existing electrical load \n–         Estimate future electrical load after electrification upgrades \n–         Describe essential components and information contained in an electrical panel
