SUMMARY:Introduction to Passive House Trades (With Passive House Network)
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nDescription: \nPassive House Network’s course Introduction to Passive House Trades will broadly cover the following topics: Passive House basics\, review typical construction types\, windows and installation\, air barriers and insulation and new\, innovative PH products. It is crucial when working on Passive House buildings to properly install components\, understand how to correctly implement design details and assess and plan for the current and future performance of the building. This live online course is accompanied by mini video tutorials for various PH product installations\, plus incorporates actual building of Passive House details relevant to the US construction industry. \nWhy attend this course? \n\nLearn Passive House standards and their implementation during construction.\nDiscover best practices for passive house design implementation.\n\nLearning Objectives \nBy the end of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the five key principles of Passive House projects.\nSummarize typical materials and methods used for insulation and air barriers on Passive House projects.\nExplain challenging details seen on wood and steel framed construction projects and propose solutions on how these can be overcome.\nDescribe the common approaches for air barrier application and insulation installation on residential and commercial projects.\nExplain systems that can be used to provide space conditioning and ventilation on Passive House projects.\nDescribe how lighting selections and lighting controls impact electrical energy usage on a project.\nSummarize the differences between quality control vs. quality assurance\, along with attributes of each concept.\nDescribe the documentation requirements needed for Passive House certification and identify how it overlaps with the overall quality assurance process.\n\nVisit Passive House Network for more information about this course.

SUMMARY:The Role of Building Science in High Performance Buildings (Session 1 of 2)
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\n2 90-minute sessions (May 17 & 19) with homework in between. By registering for this event\, you are committing to both sessions.\n  \nCourse Description: \nIntegrating building science into building performance means better indoor and outdoor environmental quality\, increased building durability and resilience\, and less risk for building owners\, communities\, and the planet. This course builds from high school level biology\, chemistry\, and physical science to building science principles and their application to superior building performance. The role that building science can play in building electrification is a key outcome of this course. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \n\nExplain how high school-level physical\, chemical\, and biological principles are expressed in buildings\nProvide at least two basic examples of building science in action in a typical home or office.\nConvey how building science influences building performance with at least two basic examples\nAssess the level of building performance of a student’s own home or office using class resources.\n\n  \n1.5 AIA HSW|LU’s Approved for this course \nInstructor: \nPeter Yost\, Building Wright

SUMMARY:CEA/AEA Exam: Central California
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 has an understanding of 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. \n  \nCertified Energy Analysts (CEAs) are individuals who have demonstrated their mastery of the Residential and/or Nonresidential California Energy Standards through the following steps: \n  \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 with regard to Title 24 in California. \n  \nMore Info \n
