Available Classes
Passive House Consultant Training and Building Science Classes
Passive House Consultant Training (36 CEUs for Phase I & Phase II combined)
Energy Star Version 3 For Architects and Engineers
New air sealing requirements need to be communicated to the subcontractors on the bid documents. This class will review how to organize and cross reference a plan set to achieve the air sealing requirements for the latest version of Energy Star.
Passive House Quality Assurance/Quality Control for Design Professional
Walking through the construction verification and testing points for low energy buildings.
Source Energy Coefficients - How do they effect your total energy use calculations?
Energy Density per square foot should consider the Source Energy Coefficient when calculation net zero, low energy, or standard construction building energy use. What are these coefficients and how do you use them in determining project energy use and CO production.
Horizontal Geothermal Design
Applications to low energy buildings and domestic how water heating systems
Introduction to Continuous Ventilation Systems for Low-Energy Design
Specification, documentation, and commissioning requirements for Continuous Ventilation Systems.
Low-Energy/Net-Zero Rater Training Requirements
Introduction to the rigorous testing and inspection requirements to ensure the performance of low-energy and net-zero buildings
Introduction to Low-Energy/Net-Zero Building Testing and Certification Programs
Overview and introduction of the requirements and certification processes
ANSI Level I Thermograph Training
Become a certified ANSI Level 1 Topographer (class is 5 days)
Air Sealing and Moisture Control for Low Energy Building Design
Air sealing and controlling moisture movement is a critical design issue for low energy buildings. Trapping water vapor in the thermal envelop leads to wall, roof, foundation, and building skin failure.
Monitoring and Verification for Buildings and The Draft National Standard
Continuous Building Commissioning is the only way to guarantee a buildings performance The National Draft Standard for Monitoring and Verification should be discussed with your clients, we will review the standards, options, programs, and system types.
Lambda, U. and R Values what are they and how are they used to develop low energy foundation, wall, and roof systems and details?
Low energy foundation, wall, and roof systems require that they are complied and calculated for each project. Developing a library of detailes is not a cut and past proposition. We will review the issues and how to develop these details.
Introduction to Thermal Imaging
Thermal Imaging as an inspection tool for major renovations and new construction. Avoid design and construction defects in low energy buildings through the construction process.
Air Sealing and Moisture Control for Low Energy Building Design
Air sealing and controlling moisture movement is a critical design issue for low energy buildings. Trapping water vapor in the thermal envelop leads to wall, roof, foundation, and building skin failure.
Classes on Understanding, Discussing and Marketing High Performance Buildings
Intro to High Performance Building Rating Systems
Learn how to discuss the major "green building" rating systems with clients to help them determine which certification(s) might best serve their projects.
