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 Pump Fundamentals: Space Conditioning and Water Heating - Class 4: High Performance Fundamentals Series
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nThis is class 4 of 6 in 3C-REN’s High Performance Fundamentals Certificate series. Earn a 3C-REN certificate of completion after finishing the series and passing short quizzes at the end of each class. This series will be hosted twice throughout 2023.  \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.  \nLearning Objectives  \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\n  \n1.5 AIA|HSW LU’s available for this course \nInstructors: \n\nDan Perunko\, Balance Point Home Performance

SUMMARY:Water Heating Distribution Best Practices - Class 5: High Performance Fundamentals Series
DESCRIPTION:[button title=”Register” link=”https://3cren.my.salesforce-sites.com/event/home/waterheatingdistributionbestpractchpf5″ new_tab=”yes”] \nThis is class 5 of 6 in 3C-REN’s High Performance Fundamentals Certificate series. Earn a 3C-REN certificate of completion after finishing the series and passing short quizzes at the end of each class. \nDo you have any customers who wait a long time to get hot water somewhere in their house? Do you know someone who is frustrated watching the water run down the drain while waiting when outdoor watering is restricted due to drought? Have you ever wondered why a shower sometimes feels wimpy and what you can do about it without adding a boost pump? And\, given the trend toward decarbonization\, how do you pick a water heater that will provide customer satisfaction and be energy efficient? Would you like to know how to solve these and related problems in existing buildings and prevent them in new ones? We will discuss the answers to these and other questions during this fast-paced class.   \n  \nLearning Objectives  \n  \nAfter attending this class\, participants will be able to:  \n\nIdentify the causes underlying occupants’ number one hot water complaint (it takes too long for hot water to get from a water heater to fixtures) and what can be done to fix the problem in existing homes and prevent it in new ones.  \nDescribe the value of the IAPMO Water Demand Calculator to right-size the plumbing in single-family and multifamily dwellings. \nAssist homeowners in selecting replacement water heaters that will meet their household needs as well as State climate goals. \nSummarize the variables that need to be evaluated when replacing an existing non-heat pump water heater with a heat pump model. \n\n  \n1.5 AIA|HSW LU’s available for this course \nInstructors: \n\nGary Klein\, Gary Klein & Associates

SUMMARY:The Electrification Path – A Case Study
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nAs California begins to electrify\, homeowners will each have a unique path to electrification.
