SUMMARY:High Performance Envelope + Balanced Ventilation
DESCRIPTION:Register \nThis is part 1 of a 2-part event on 5/3. Please arrive at 8:15am for complimentary coffee and pastries. \n  \nHigher-Performance Envelope + Balanced Ventilation \nEnergy performance is increasingly dependent on buildings that limit air infiltration\, but that is just one piece of higher performance roof and wall assembly. In this 3rd installment of our Higher-Performance series\, we will look at cost-effective strategies to make tight envelopes standard practice\, with special emphasis on thermal continuity and managing moisture. We will finish up with the partner to a tight envelope: balanced ventilation. \nLearning objectives: \n\nLearn the building science behind thermal bridging and air movement\, and the impacts on energy performance\, health\, and comfort\nLearn the application and benefits of rain screens in the central coast climate\nUnderstand options for Insulation and air and vapor barriers and best practices for each\nIdentify balanced ventilation strategies and the costs and benefits of each.\n\nAIA Continuing Education Units Available: 1 LU|HSW \n  \n

SUMMARY:Water Heating Distribution Best Practices - Class 5: High Performance Fundamentals Series
DESCRIPTION:Register \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:Performance Testing of Forced Air HVAC Systems
DESCRIPTION:Register \nAs Winston Churchill once said: “However beautiful the strategy\, one should occasionally look at the results.” Whether testing in or testing out\, as Building Performance based practitioners we always need to measure our results rather than just hope for them to be successful. So\, what tests should be done to forced air heating and cooling systems to determine whether the installation is successful? What are the metrics for determining success? What equipment is needed to perform the tests? Let’s explore these questions and come away with essential tests that should be included in your energy audits\, your diagnostic testing bag of tricks and your HVAC commissioning protocol. \nInstructor: Judy Rachel\, Home Performance Pro \nVenue: To Be Announced – Location: Ventura County
