SUMMARY:Bozeman\, MT - Heat Pumps and Solar in Cold Climates for WAP
DESCRIPTION:Heat Pumps and Solar in Cold Climates for WAP\nDates: October 21\, 2025\nMeets: Tu from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM\nLocation: Montana Weatherization Training Center – Bozeman\nCost:  $300.00 \nWeatherization programs are mainly concerned with shell work on homes and making sure there is safe and adequate heat and acceptable indoor air quality. In cold climates\, A/C was not a common installation in homes\, and if it was installed\, it was deemed unnecessary to install one with heat pump ability as it could only be used for a short time in the shoulder seasons. Weatherization clients in cold weather climates did not use heat pumps to heat their homes\, and helping clients with cooling was not the program’s purpose. For this reason\, A/C and heat pump installation have been completely ignored by most cold climate weatherization programs. \nAs technology marches forward\, recent advances have made heat pump technology a viable solution to heating in cold climates. Additionally\, due to increased temperatures in the summer and the increased frequency and severity of forest fires\, there is a health and safety need to close homes in the summer and be able to cool them with A/C. There is also a steady movement by society to move away from fossil fuels and electrify homes. There are now several reasons for weatherization programs in cold climates to understand heat pump technology and how\, when\, and where it can be utilized as a heat and cooling source. This portion of the class will be an introduction to the topic with a focus on the basics of refrigeration\, site assessment\, and what types of systems could be utilized in cold climates. We will have a lab demonstration of several heat pump technologies. \nInstalling solar PV has not historically been part of WAP programs. Recent federal legislation is unleashing funding for solar panel installation on low-to-moderate-income homes\, making much of this money accessible to the income population that WAP serves. There are many avenues by which this money could fall into the hands of weatherization programs\, but one way or another\, WAP clients will likely have solar panels installed at their homes and Weatherization personnel will be involved at some capacity. This class aims to introduce the topic of solar in WAP with a focus on the basics of solar panels\, site assessment\, obstacles to installation\, and what types of systems can be installed. We will have a lab demonstration of a roof installed system. \nREGISTER HERE

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.
