SUMMARY:Webinar - Zero Energy Homes: Updates & Cost Effective Approaches
DESCRIPTION:EARTH ADVANTAGE\nZero Energy Homes: Updates & Cost Effective Approaches\nHear latest developments and cost-effective approaches to ZE construction in the NW region.\n\n\nOverview\n\nJoin Earth Advantage and BetterBuiltNW for this no cost 1-hour webinar and gain valuable info on the latest developments and construction approaches to Zero Energy (ZE) & Zero Energy Ready (ZER) construction in the NW region. \n\n‘Zero Energy’ can be defined as: \nA home that generates as much energy on site as it uses over the course of a year\, making it essentially require zero energy. \nA rapidly increasing number of architects and builders in the NW are ahead of the curve and building homes to Zero Energy (ZE) and Zero Energy Ready (ZER) standards\, and have been doing so for many years. \nThis begs the question: how is this being achieved cost effectively?  \nAdvanced heat pump technology\, lighting\, and solar PV options are challenging the old zero energy paradigm of investments in air sealing\, insulation\, and expensive window upgrades. This new development has fundamentally changed the way builders and homeowners design and construct zero energy homes\, making the potential for widespread adoption within reach. Help educate your clients on what will really help them save energy versus what might drive the cost of construction out of reach. \nJoin us for this webinar as we discuss what it takes to achieve ZE & ZER\, the homeowner benefits it provides\, and how professionals are achieving this standard across the Northwest. \nQuestions? Contact the EA Education Team at education@earthadvantage.org or call 503-968-7160\n\n\nLearning Objectives\nAttendees of this webinar will benefit from learning about: \n\nAchieve ZE & ZER construction using the most cost-effective approaches available\nSpotlights on spec builders who are achieving ZE & ZER in today’s market across the NW\nDifferent interpretations of ZE & ZER\nPrimary ZE & ZER certifications programs available in the NW region\nAdditional training opportunities on advanced home design and construction\n\n\n\n\nWhen & Where\nFriday\, February 15\, 2024\n8:00AM – 9:00AM\nOptional Extended Q&A from 9:00AM – 9:30AM \nLive Webinar\nIntended for audiences across the NW\n\n\nCEs & Cost\nContinuing Education\nAIA LU/HSW: 1 CE\nCCB: 1 CE\nBPI: 1 CE\nICC: 0.1 CE \nOREA: 1 CE \nCourse Fee\nNo Cost \n\n\nAudience\nArchitects\, Builders/Contractors\, Code Officials\, Developers\, Engineers\, Program Representatives\, Raters/Verifiers\, Real Estate Professionals\, Subcontractors\n\n\nInstructor(s)\n\n\n\nWaylon White: Waylon is the Senior Manager of Green Building Technical Services at Earth Advantage and has over 20 years of construction experience with a wide variety of building types and a sharp focus on high performance design and construction. At EA\, Waylon has been instrumental in refining and delivering Earth Advantage’s New Home\, Multifamily\, and LEED certification programs since 2013. Before joining the Earth Advantage team\, Waylon was a residential energy auditor and weatherization contractor in and around the Portland metro area for several years.\n\n\n\nMarc Cregeur: Marc Cregeur is a Green Building Consultant and Passive House Rater at Earth Advantage\, working with their Single-Family Home Certification Green Building Program. He has been implementing energy efficiency programs for over 10 years\, and developing real-world building science experience. This hands-on experience allows Marc to work with builders from the design phase\, throughout construction\, and into the final build and testing phase. This versatility has allowed Marc to work with small and large builders: from those looking to simply be above code\, to more high performance projects like Passive\, and ZE Homes\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Virtual - Improving Energy Performance and Achieving Decarb Goals
DESCRIPTION:Lighting Lab Design\nImproving Energy Performance and Achieving Decarb Goals With US DOE’s 50001 Ready™ and Superior Energy Performance 50001™\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThu\, Feb 15\, 2024 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM PST\n\n\n\n\n\nShow in My Time Zone\n\n\n\n\n\nEthan Rogers\, Technology Manager with DOE’s Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office\, will be presenting on DOE’s core strategic energy management programs: 50001 Ready and SEP 50001. DOE’s recognition resources and technical assistance align to the global ISO 50001 standard for energy management and are freely available to US organizations. \n\nLearn: About the 50001 Ready Navigator on-line platform\, which provides a step-by-step guide to implementing a comprehensive energy management system; About impressive results US commercial and industrial organizations have achieved by implementing 50001-based energy management systems; How studies show that organizations with 50001-based energy management systems achieve persistent\, long-term energy savings compared to business-as-usual; and How your organization – or organizations you support – can utilize free DOE tools and resources to improve energy performance and achieve decarbonization goals; and How utilities are using 50001 Ready tools and resources to organize and augment their strategic energy management programs.\n\n\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER
