SUMMARY:Bozeman - MWTC Advanced Pressure Diagnostics
DESCRIPTION:Advanced Pressure Diagnostics will utilize whole house thinking relative to house construction\, air leakage and movement\, forced air heating systems\, ventilation systems\, and climate. The goal of this class is to provide students with the skills necessary to decipher the unique mix of problems that every house has in relation to air movement\, air leakage\, pressure imbalances and flue drafting. This class will cover the science and practical application of air sealing\, zone pressure diagnostics\, infrared thermography\, blower door testing\, fan flow measurement\, ASHRAE\, and HVAC flow diagnostics and Combustion Appliance Zone (CAZ) pressure issues. \nParticipants in this class will learn to be the ultimate air leakage sleuths by practicing pro-level skills for balancing heating systems\, solving air leakage mysteries\, and avoiding dangerous combustion problems. This will be an intensive 2.5 days of manometer mayhem that will help participants perform audits\, lead crews\, and do Quality Control Inspector (QCI) inspections at a new level. \nCourse Learning Outcomes:\nUpon Course Completion\, the student will learn how to: \n\nReview basic whole house building science concepts of air and energy transfer\nLearn advanced zone pressure diagnostics techniques\nLearn about combustion appliance zones and the effect of air pressure on these zones\nLearn about ventilation principles\nLearn how to measure flow in ventilation systems and HVAC systems\n\nMontana Weatherization Network members may take this course\, and any relevant exam(s)\, at no cost. Use the MT WAP Registration option to register with a $0 fee.For questions\, contact the Training Center at classes@weatherization.org or 406-586-0070.

SUMMARY:National Weatherization Day
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Weatherization Day: Four Ways to Make Your Home More Comfortable and Save on Utility Bills\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nEvery year on October 30th\, we celebrate Weatherization Day and raise awareness about the importance of making homes more energy efficient and comfortable. Weatherization Day highlights the success of the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP)\, which has been helping people lower their energy costs since 1976. But while the WAP focuses on supporting low-income households\, which bear the greatest energy burden\, weatherization is something every home can benefit from. \nWeatherizing your home by sealing air leaks\, upgrading insulation\, and installing energy-efficient equipment are some of the best ways to improve comfort\, make your home more durable\, and lock in savings on your utility bill. With support available through programs like the WAP and tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act\, weatherization is more accessible than ever\, and it offers long-term benefits for both your wallet and your well-being. \nWhy Weatherization Matters\nWeatherizing your home can make an especially big difference as temperatures fluctuate throughout the year. Sealing air leaks\, adding insulation\, and upgrading heating and cooling systems keep your home at a consistent temperature\, minimizing drafts and making it easier to stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer. These improvements can also significantly lower your utility bills by reducing the amount of energy your home needs to maintain those comfortable temperatures. \nFour Tips to Improve Comfort and Lower Energy Costs:\n\nSubscribe to Comfort Ready Home’s YouTube Channel\nStay informed with weatherization and energy efficiency tips by subscribing to our YouTube channel. We regularly post new videos that can help you make informed decisions on how to improve your home’s comfort and efficiency.\nVisit Our Interactive Home Upgrade Page\nOur homeowner webpage encourages you to explore a variety of weatherization solutions that can help you address issues like high energy bills\, inadequate indoor air quality\, and your home’s environmental footprint.\nTake Advantage of Utility Rebates and Assistance Programs\nUtility Rebate programs and The Weatherization Assistance Program are designed to help you access critical home improvements. By providing incentives and payment for energy efficiency upgrades\, these programs reduce energy costs and increase comfort for those who need it most. Check with your local utility to learn about next steps to start making your home more energy efficient.\nExplore Tax Incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act\nThanks to the Inflation Reduction Act\, many homeowners can now access tax credits and rebates for energy-efficient upgrades like insulation\, heat pumps\, and efficient windows. These incentives can significantly reduce the upfront costs of weatherizing your home.\n\nEarly fall is a great time to consider how your home can work smarter for you and keep you comfortable through the winter. Happy Weatherization Day! \n

Our past registrants have benefitted tremendously from the interactive sessions with Dr. Lstiburek where questions are encouraged. Because of that\, we limit attendance to 50 or so. Each $595.00 series consists of 4 afternoons of instruction. Upon completion of the seminar\, members of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) will receive 16 LU|HSW posted directly to the AIA Provider website. \nThe time for the sessions will be from 1:00-5:00 pm EST. \nDr. Joseph Lstiburek will discuss building science principles (such as the control of heat\, air\, and moisture and IAQ) and show you how to apply them to low-energy enclosure design\, advanced HVAC systems\, forensic investigations\, and the repair and retrofit of existing buildings. \nThe Fundamentals class has been attended by thousands of builders\, architects\, engineers\, building science consultants\, building code officials\, facility managers\, building product manufacturers\, and government officials. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\n\nSession One\n1:00 pm – 5:00 pm\n\nSession Two\n1:00 pm – 5:00 pm\n\n\nEnvironmental Separation\nThe Myth of the Dew Point\n\n\nDefinition of a Building\nRoofs Vented and Unvented\n\n\nThe Effect of Climate\nHygric Buoyancy\n\n\nThe Perfect Wall\nIce Dams\n\n\nThe Water Molecule\nBasements\n\n\nRelative Humidity and Vapor Pressure\nCrawlspaces Vented and Unvented\n\n\nAir Flow and Vapor Diffusion\nSlabs and Flooring\n\n\nRain\n\n\n\nCapillarity\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession Three\n1:00 pm – 5:00 pm\n\nSession Four\n1:00 pm – 5:00 pm\n\n\nStucco Failures\nRetrofits\n\n\nPressure and IAQ\nMass Buildings\n\n\nBuildings as 3-D Airflow Networks\nFreeze Thaw\n\n\nControlling Pressures and Pathways\nInterior Foundation Retrofits\n\n\nStack Effect and Compartmentalization\nHistoric Building Limitations\n\n\nHVAC\nFrame Buildings\n\n\nPart Load and Humidity Control\nDeep Energy Retrofits\n\n\nCentral Systems vs. Distributed Systems\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Bellingham - Energy Auditor Field Procedures Review course
DESCRIPTION:Event Details\n\nCourse Description: \nThe Energy Auditor Field Procedures Review course is a 1-day training designed to review the Building Performance Institute Energy Auditor (BPI EA) field guide contents and procedures for candidates preparing for the Home Energy Professional Energy Auditor field test. Attendees will use the BPI Energy Auditor Field Guide\, BPI Energy Auditor Certification Scheme Handbook\, and combustion standards associated BPI ANSI/BPI-1200-2017. \nCourse contains aspects of BPI Energy Auditor Job Task Analyses\, but it is not intended to be a comprehensive training on all individual items.  \n*This online class\, though covering hands on elements\, is not a substitute for in-person hands on training. \nReference Materials: \n• ANSI/BPI 1200 Standard Practice for Basic Analysis of Buildings \n• BPI Energy Auditor 2019 Field Guide \n• BPI Energy Auditor Certification Scheme Handbook \n• BPI Combustion Appliance Safety Inspection for Vented Appliances \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\nTime\n(Wednesday) 8:30 am – 5:00 pm(GMT-07:00) \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\nLocation\nBuilding Performance Center \n3406 Redwood Ave. \n  \n\nREGISTER HERE
