SUMMARY:Next Generation Passive Solar
DESCRIPTION:Register \nEnjoy food\, drinks\, and great company at the third event in our High-Performance Happy Hour Series! Whether you’re a homeowner\, architect\, or simply curious about high-performance design\, join us to dive into the next generation of passive solar design principles.  \nEvent Description \nWe all learned the principles of passive solar design in school – south facing orientation\, strategic windows\, thermal mass\, etc.\, but the old rules don’t apply in the same way. Modern buildings should still incorporate passive strategies\, including daylight and ventilation\, but they need a new spin on the implementation to account for improved insulation\, prevalence of high-performance glazing\, and efficient HVAC systems and lighting. \nLearning Objectives \n\nReview passive thermal design strategies including basic climate analysis and guidelines for orientation\, fenestration and thermal mass.\nUnderstand current science relating to the impacts of daylight and views on occupant health and learn best practices for right-sizing windows and skylights\, managing glare and selecting appropriate visible light transmittance.\nLearn strategies to develop an integrated system for ventilation\, optimizing passive systems (operable windows and skylights\, stack effect\, cross ventilation) with mechanical systems\nReview a case study to integrate passive thermal design with a high-performance envelope.\n\nLearning Units \n\n1 AIA HSW LUs approved for this course\n1 hour of ZNCD Continuing Education units for CAB\n\nInstructor \nJennifer Rennick\, In Balance Green Consulting \nAndy Pease\, In Balance Green Consulting \n  \nThis event is held in partnership with AIA Santa Barbara. Attendance is open to all. \n \n  \nInterested in attending more in-person events? Make sure to check out the last event in our High-Performance Happy Hour Series! \n\nRenewable Energy\, Energy Storage and Resiliency (10/28)

SUMMARY:CEA/AEA Exam: Central Coast
DESCRIPTION:Register \nCertification as a Certified Energy Analyst (CEA) or Associate Energy Analyst (AEA) signifies that a consultant understands the California Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24\, Part 6) and understands broader energy efficiency issues\, is committed to providing quality service to clients\, and that he/she has made a commitment to conduct business in an ethical fashion. Because CEAs have also made a commitment to ongoing educational requirements\, attending advanced industry training puts them on the cutting edge. \nCEAs are individuals who have demonstrated their mastery of the Residential and/or Nonresidential California Energy Standards through the following steps. \n\nPass the appropriate two-part (Multiple Choice and ACM Modeling) CEA Exam for Residential and/or Nonresidential.\nHave verified experience and/or education and other certifications related to Title 24 compliance work.\nParticipate in a Professional Practices Workshop (PPW)\, sponsored by CABEC.\nAttend at least nine hours per year of continuing education training.\n\nSince energy consultants are not regulated by the state\, CABEC designed the CEA to be a statement of an energy consultant’s working knowledge and understanding of the California Energy Efficiency Standards. When an energy consultant is a Certified Energy Analyst it is a statement to a building department\, builder\, architect\, or homeowner of the professional skills and knowledge of that energy consultant. This certification has become a highly regarded symbol of expertise within the industry and Title 24 compliance in California.
