SUMMARY:Higher-Performance Residential Remodels
DESCRIPTION:Register \nEvent Description \nWorking through specific examples\, we’ll help project teams identify strategies that have the highest impact for improving energy efficiency\, comfort and indoor healthy environments in renovations and additions. Beginning with a focus on client needs and incorporating occupant goals\, a high-performance remodel may be phased or done all at once\, may focus on efficient equipment and appliances or more on indoor comfort\, and may be very visible or mostly behind-the-scenes. Come learn the art and science of higher-performance remodels! \nLearning Units \n1 AIA LU pending for this course \nInstructors  \nAndy Pease\, In Balance Green Consulting \nJennifer Rennick\, In Balance Green Consulting \nCourse Location \nZoom link provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:Ask the Experts: Heat Pump Water Heater & Solar Permitting
DESCRIPTION:Register \nEvent Description \nJoin us for an office-hours style open discussion focused on permitting requirements for heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) and solar installations. This interactive session provides direct access to an industry expert who can help clarify general permitting processes\, answer project-specific questions\, and address common challenges encountered by contractors\, designers\, installers\, and building professionals. Bring your questions and participate in an open dialogue designed to support successful project planning\, compliance\, and implementation. \nThe session will be led by Reuben Veek\, Founder and Executive Director of SunWork. Reuben has been installing grid-tied residential solar energy systems since 2006 and has overseen the construction of more than 250 systems throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and Central Coast. In addition to solar\, SunWork operates a HPWH installation program that uses a unique volunteer-supported model to make electrification projects more affordable while providing hands-on education for people interested in clean energy careers. With extensive experience in both solar and HPWH installations\, and experience working with 3C-REN’s Home Energy Savings program to install HPWH\, Reuben brings practical insights and real-world expertise to help participants better understand permitting requirements\, common challenges\, and best practices for successful project implementation. \nLearning Units \n1 AIA LU pending for this course \nInstructors  \nReuben Veek\, SunWork \nCourse Location \nZoom link provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:Carbon Smart Construction Happy Hour: Reducing Embodied Carbon
DESCRIPTION:Register \nJoin 3C-REN\, AIA Santa Barbara\, and the Central Coast Green Building Council for Carbon Smart Construction\, a new series of green building happy hours bringing together people from across the building and design community. \nEach event offers a chance to grab a drink\, connect with colleagues and new faces\, and dig into a different topic related to building better\, healthier\, and more sustainable buildings. From embodied carbon and bio-based materials to high-performance\, all-electric construction\, the series explores the ideas\, materials\, and practices shaping the future of building on the Central Coast. \nThis event is part of the Carbon Smart Construction series. \nEvent Description \nWith growing awareness of the role of embodied carbon in the overall carbon footprint of construction\, strategies for reduction tend to focus on a few high impact materials – namely\, concrete and steel. We’ll discuss these as well as the potential in bio-based materials for reducing embodied carbon in residential and commercial construction. \nLearning Objectives \n\nUnderstand CALGreen requirements for embodied carbon that took effect July 2024 and were expanded in the 2025 code update.\nBe able to categorize common building materials for their likely carbon impacts\nIdentify simple tools and resources to streamline carbon comparisons\nUnderstand how bio-based materials can contribute to lower/net zero carbon projects\n\nLearning Units \n1 AIA HSW LUs approved for this course \nInstructors  \nMichelle Zimney\, In Balance Green Consulting \nAmanda Martin\, Renewal Revolution

SUMMARY:Passive House & Fire Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Register \nEvent Description \nWith the growing occurrence of devastating wildfires\, there’s an imperative to make buildings fire-safe and resilient. Passive House can support a clear pathway to achieve these goals. The class will review the latest science on wildfires and building safety\, including the interplay among building structure\, the surrounding landscape\, community\, and the Passive House methodology. We will dive into a toolkit with specific steps for analyzing and implementing fire-resilient Passive House strategies for your next building project \nLearning Objectives \n\nOutline the threats that buildings\, property\, and people face due to the growing frequency of wildfires.\nDescribe critical weaknesses and failures in site and building design that compromise fire resilience.\nOutline attributes\, details\, and quality control aspects of Passive House design and construction that support wildfire resilience.\nDescribe code\, landscaping\, and community strategies for strengthening fire resilience and the opportunities for Passive House to be implemented to enhance effectiveness.\n\nLearning Units \n2 AIA LUs approved for this course \nInstructors  \nKen Levenson\, Passive House Network \nCourse Location \nZoom link provided upon registration.
