SUMMARY:Sustainable Homes Professional
DESCRIPTION:Join the Sustainable Homes Professional (SHP) program and learn cutting edge design and building best practices from our expert instructor\, Stephen Aiguier of Green Hammer\, as he guides participants through the entire spectrum of high performance building and shares practical insights on the following: \n\nBuilding science fundamentals & moisture management\nHigh performance wall & roof assemblies\nHVAC product selection & integrated system design\nWater conservation techniques\nIndoor air quality\, green material considerations & health impacts\nLocal green/energy efficiency building programs & incentives\n\n​SHP is a comprehensive\, interactive\, experience-driven education program for residential and multifamily building and design professionals who are looking to take their projects to the next level of quality. Each of the six monthly modules can be taken individually and provide participants with an opportunity to gain valuable information and eliminate common barriers to high performance building via: \n\n\n\nLecture\, discussion\, hands-on exercises\, & short assignments\nGuest speakers that share past projects\, experiences\, & expertise on issues that are critical to building quality homes successfully\nTwo tours of under-construction or recently-completed green certified homes with builders & raters on-site to explain approaches\, reveal cost/benefit analysis\, & answer questions\nA final project that progresses throughout the course and puts principles into practice by guiding participants in designing their own high performance building or research project\n\n​A certification exam at the end of the course allows participants to earn the designation of an accredited Sustainable Homes Professional (SHP). Earth Advantage also provides logos and marketing support to help SHPs gain visibility as informed green building professionals. \nThe SHP accreditation program was first offered in 2008 and has since has been offered over 20 times across Oregon\, all the while maintaining a longstanding reputation for depth\, applied learning\, and outstanding quality. SHP is complementary to other industry credentials\, like LEED AP\, LEED GA\, SBA\, CPHC\, BPI\, HERS\, and others. SHPs are architects\, builders\, developers\, remodelers\, raters/verifiers\, subcontractors\, planners\, engineers\, third-party verification program staff\, real estate professionals\, appraisers\, educators\, and building operators who value quality craftsmanship\, whole system thinking\, and sustainable practices. \n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\n\n\n\nOvercome common barriers & misconceptions of high performance building\nAnalyze the costs & benefits of incorporating green building products and approaches\nTake advantage of financial incentives and technical assistance offered by governments\, utilities and nonprofits\nIdentify the full breadth of building best practices from site layout to flooring selection\nEnhance your knowledge of building science & how a home functions as a system\nEstablish a sustainable design goal by incorporating energy\, water\, & resource efficiency while maintaining a comfortable\, durable\, healthy building\nDevelop marketing strategies & support to strengthen the business case for green building\nGain a builder/designer-centric approach to achieving the following certification standards: Passive House\, Zero Energy\, Earth Advantage®\, LEED®\, EPS\, ENERGY STAR\, Living Building Challenge\, & more.\n\n\n\nBenefits\n\n10 site visit tours to certified homes and 5 guest speaker presentations (see photos)\nSpecial guest access to the Earth Advantage Home Certification online points worksheet for final project review & submission\nProfessional differentiation that comes with accredited SHP designation\, use of logo\, and listing on the Earth Advantage Accredited Professionals online registry\nValuable networking opportunities with green building experts and fellow accredited SHPs that will help you develop a strong referral network\nSHP Manual\, Resource Guide and course textbooks:\n\nResidential Energy by John Krigger and Chris Dorsi (provided by Earth Advantage)\nBuilder’s Guide to Mixed-Humid Climates by Joseph Lstiburek (E-book purchased by student)\n\n\nDiscounts on future Earth Advantage and partner trainings and events​\n\nortland\, OR\nEarth Advantage Classroom\n623 SW Oak Street\, Third Floor\, Portland\, OR 97205 (map) \nNovember 15\, 2019 – April 4\, 2020\n6 monthly 2-day modules\nAll classes will take place from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.\nIndividual modules can be taken in random order over multiple sessions to achieve SHP accreditation \n\n\n\nCourse Modules\nPortland\, OR\nFall 2019\n\n\nModule 1: Green Building Market & Integrated Design\nNov 15 & 16\n\n\nModule 2: Building Science Fundamentals\nDec 6 & 7\n\n\nModule 3: High Performance Building Envelopes\nJan 10 & 11\n\n\nModule 4: Mechanical Systems and Performance Testing\nFeb 7 & 8\n\n\nModule 5: Health\, Materials\, and Water\nMar 6 & 7\n\n\nModule 6: Final Presentations and Certification Exam\nApr 3 & 4\n\n\n\n  \nQuestions? Contact Heather Kendall at hkendall@earthadvantage.org or 503.968.7160 x20.

SUMMARY:Delayed until further notice: How to Cost Effectively Build Zero Energy Homes - Hood River
DESCRIPTION:Updated March 19\, 2020: Delayed until further notice\nPlease let us know if you are interested in a training that has been postponed due to COVID-19 and may be rescheduled and/or potentially made available online.To receive updates regarding this and other postponed trainings please fill out this interest form. \nJoin EEBA (Energy & Environmental Building Alliance) and Earth Advantage for this 1-day training and learn how to eliminate common barriers to Zero Energy (ZE) home construction\, benefit from the rapid trend towards ZE\, and earn a ‘Zero Energy Builder’ designation. \nZero Energy (ZE) homes are a big part of the future of home building business. While the materials and equipment to reach zero energy are available\, designers and builders must create a bundle of energy-efficiency features that matches their climate\, customers\, and business constraints. \nThis 7-hour class lays out numerous elements of zero energy design and construction\, so that building professionals can formulate a package appropriate for their situation. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Participants in this class will learn design principles\, equipment options\, emerging technologies\, material selections\, and construction practices that can be integrated into their building process. Strong emphasis is placed on ways to make the final product affordable for homebuyers. Sales and marketing ideas\, as well as localized resources\, builder spotlights\, programs and next steps will also be presented. \nAttendees will: \n\nIdentify factors that are driving the U.S. housing market toward ZE.\nName barriers to the widespread adoption of ZE homes.\nDescribe three ways to present the financial benefits of ZE homes.\nList six affordable ZE features that you can incorporate into your practice.\nBe invited to bring house specs and evaluate possible advancements along the 12 steps to ZE.\nCreate a marketing and sales messages that your company can use to promote ZE homes.\nLearn about available Energy Trust EPS incentives through their just released Net Zero and Energy Smart Home offerings.
