SUMMARY:Flexible Dates: Become a HERS Rater
DESCRIPTION:INTEREST FORM​\n\n3C-REN has partnered with CalCERTS\, Inc. to offer HERS (Home Energy Rating System) Rater training for FREE* to qualified candidates across the tri-counties!   \nAs the California Energy Code (Title 24 Part 6) becomes more stringent\, HERS Raters are essential to the construction process as trusted third-party reviewers of the performance of a building’s major energy-using appliances.   \nCandidates will learn to conduct the following tests to verify the performance of various building systems:  \n\nDuct Tests \nBlower Door Tests \nQuality Insulation Installation (QII) \nFan Efficacy/Watt Draw \nRefrigerant Charge Verification \nSolar System Verification \nAnd more! \n\nHERS certification has several tracts depending on the individual’s focus. Pathways include:  \n\nHERS Residential Alterations \nHERS New Construction \nHERS Solar \nHERS II – Whole House Rater + CA RESNET \nHERS Nonresidential  \n\nA high school diploma or GED is recommended for enrolling in this training opportunity. For more information about what a HERS Rater does\, visit WWW.CALCERTS.COM to find a detailed course listing\, definitions\, resources\, job qualifications\, and more.   \nTo sign up for this training fill out the interest form. 3C-REN staff will follow up to schedule a short discussion about your experience and career trajectory.  \n*3C-REN will fully pay for training in partnership with CalCERTS\, Inc. Candidates will be responsible for any field house and EPA 608 examination fees\, which typically range from $200 to $325. Exams include: HERS Residential Alterations Compliance Fieldhouse and EPA 608 Universal Certification Core and Type II. These exams are required to become a HERS Rater in California and to handle refrigerants (EPA 608). In addition\, 3C-REN will require candidates to complete a brief bi-annual survey for one year\, detailing their experience after the class.

SUMMARY:Residential Load Calcs and Duct Design for Building Departments
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nThe California Energy Code and Mechanical Code both require formal load calculations\, equipment selection\, and duct designs. Historically\, this has been poorly enforced because building departments have been at a loss for what to ask for and how to check it. With the rise of heat pump installations\, good design is even more important. More and more building departments are trying to enforce these requirements. This class will cover the design process\, what to ask for and what to check.  \nTarget audience: building department code enforcement personnel\, HVAC contractors\, HERS raters\, energy consultants. \nLearning Objectives:      \n\nReview the overall compliance process including prescriptive and performance approaches.\nUnderstand how HVAC fits into the overall compliance of homes.\nUnderstand the code requirements for residential HVAC design\nUnderstand the importance of proper equipment sizing\nUnderstand the importance of good airflow and duct design\nLearn how to prioritize your time checking these items.\n\n
