SUMMARY:Virtual Conference - HVAC/R Training Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The HVACR Training Symposium is an annual trade event that has been held at Kalos Services in Clermont\, FL\, since 2020. Many of the industry’s finest minds come together to lead educational sessions about a wide range of applicable HVAC/R topics\, from fundamentals to advanced design and diagnostics. \nWe’ve consistently welcomed speakers like Jim Bergmann\, Bill Spohn\, Craig Migliaccio\, Alex Meaney\, Ed Janowiak\, and many more industry leaders. Many sponsors also come out to support the event\, show off their game-changing products\, and even donate fancy tools for use in our giveaways. \nThe symposium lasts 3 days\, from Thursday to Saturday. \nSessions are either 50 or 80 minutes in length and run from 8 AM to 5 PM with a one-hour lunch break on Thursday and Friday. \nSessions end a bit earlier on Saturday to allow plenty of time for an afterparty at a local restaurant. \nOur facility can only hold about 200 in-person attendees\, but we also offer a virtual ticket that offers access to all of the training sessions for several months after the symposium ends. \nIn-person ticket sales typically sell out well in advance of the symposium\, but virtual ticket sales are unlimited and will be available before\, during\, and after the symposium. Even though the in-person experience offers the benefits of networking opportunities and free food\, the virtual ticket is a high-value offering that can also earn you up to 16 NATE CEUs and provide a wealth of useful training classes for people at all stages of their HVAC/R careers. \nClick here to Register

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 - NEEA Low-Load Efficient Heat Pump Research
DESCRIPTION:NEEA Low-Load Efficient Heat Pump Research\nEvent details\n\n\n\n2/20/2024\, 10:30 AM – 2/20/2024\, 11:00 AM\nTime zone: (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada)\n\n\nMicrosoft Teams meeting\n\n\nModeling and lab testing revealed that some heat pumps work significantly better under part-load (low-load) conditions\, resulting in significant annual energy savings with little to no differentiation in retail price.  NEEA contracted with Cadeo Group and Optimized Thermal Systems to better understand why and what equipment hardware or design changes are needed to achieve top quartile low-load efficiency. \n  \nThe project involved two parts: 1) explore why. If the NEEP-published minimum capacity COP at 47 degrees is a good indicator of low-load efficiency\, why isn’t this value reflected in the federal test procedure for HSPF2 or SEER2? And 2) the second part was to conduct a detailed virtual “paper” tear-down of many different heat pump systems to determine the source of low-load efficiency and what\, if any\, hard costs can be associated with such systems. \n\n\nSpeakers\n\nChristopher Dymond\, NEEA\n\n\n\nCory Luker\, Cadeo Group\n\n\n\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER
