SUMMARY:Energy Performance and Fire-Resistant Construction
DESCRIPTION:Register \nEvent Description \nWith increasing fire intensity throughout the state and more areas designated with high fire severity zones\, our region is naturally interested in building construction that decreases fire risk. Fortunately\, there is an overlap of strategies that reduce fire risk while also improving energy performance and indoor occupant health. This course walks through those strategies for new construction\, highlighting the confluence of the Title 24 Energy code\, WUI and Zero Net Carbon Design.  \nLearning Objectives \n\nUnderstand where the energy code\, Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) code and Zero Net Carbon Design (ZNCD) overlap in building construction.\nIdentify code requirements and key strategies for hardening the building envelope and improving energy efficiency through air sealing and strategic window choices.\nDiscuss impacts and opportunities for PV panels and battery storage systems\, including size\, placement and chemistry.\nEvaluate options for locating electric heat pumps and heat pump water heaters to support both energy efficiency and fire resistance.\n\nLearning Units \n\n1.0 AIA HSW LU\n1.0 CAB ZNCD CEU\n\nInstructors \nAndy Pease\, In Balance Green Consulting \nJennifer Rennick\, In Balance Green Consulting \n  \nCourse Location  \nZoom link provided upon registration
