SUMMARY:Appraising Energy Efficient Homes
DESCRIPTION:Gain competency and make well-supported and accurate valuation decisions.\nAttend this free 7-hour CE training provided by Energy Trust of Oregon and Earth Advantage and gain a wealth of appraisal expertise\, including principles and practices that distinguish energy efficient homes from traditional code constructed homes\, methods for appraising these high performance homes\, and approaches to solar PV valuation. \nDid you know the secondary mortgage market (Fannie\, Freddie\, and FHA) and Appraisal Foundation guidelines require “competency” in this topic area prior to accepting an assignment on an energy efficient home? Take this course and become one of the appraisers in your area that lenders can turn to who meet this standard. \nThis course is intended to provide appraisers with the information and resources needed to make well-supported and accurate valuation decisions for high performance properties. It will provide an overview of the most current data available for the valuation of energy efficient homes\, and then present the cost approach as it applies to these properties. Participants will then perform an in-depth analysis of the sales comparison approach and other valuation techniques that can be applied to high performance homes. The approaches to value covered by this course are not exclusively related to high performance properties and will also help broaden your tool kit for conventional appraisal assignments. \nBy taking this course\, you will…\n\nGain the data/tools needed to apply adjustments to appraisal assignments using different approaches to value\nUnderstand recent housing market forces and the latest valuation studies and how they affect appraisers\nLearn how EPS-rated homes provide energy efficiency data to appraisers\, as well as healthier\, more durable\, and more comfortable homes to consumers\nLearn about appraisal addendums developed by Earth Advantage and Appraisal Institute and the different benefits/uses of each\n\nBackground\nThe Appraising Energy Efficient Homes course has been approved to provide 7 CEs for OR appraisers and has been recommended as qualifying green home valuation education by the Appraisal Foundation and the Oregon Appraiser Certification & Licensure Board (ACLB). This 1-day course was developed by Taylor Watkins\, a Subject Matter Expert (SME) on high performance home valuation committees with the Appraisal Foundation\, and has been derived and updated based on the comprehensive 3-day green home appraisal designation program provided by Earth Advantage\, Accredited Green Appraiser (AGA). AGA has been offered live across California\, Maryland\, Massachusetts\, Virginia\, Washington and Alabama\, and an online course is currently under development. Visit the AGA course page and click the “Reviews” tab to view participant testimonials and course evaluation summaries. \nQuestions? Contact Heather Kendall at hkendall@earthadvantage.org or 503-968-7160 x20.

SUMMARY:High Performance Homes Training for Code Officials
DESCRIPTION:High Performance Homes Training for Code Officials\nOCTOBER 20\, 2017 | 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM \nLearn the essentials of building science and examine common building features and techniques being utilized by new home builders that achieve EPSTM (Energy Performance Score) from Energy Trust of Oregon. \nThe course will provide an overview of how builders participating in Energy Trust of Oregon’s New Homes Program are constructing residential structures to achieve EPS\, a third party verification that signals high levels of energy efficiency. You will learn the why\, how and where the most current building techniques and materials are being used to create high performing homes\, and how the EPS standard helps the building industry prepare for increases in energy efficiency standards that are required in future code cycles. \nWhat is EPS? EPS-rated homes are built and tested to exceed code minimum energy standards. With EPS\, home buyers are able to compare how similar-sized homes use energy\, review the features that make energy-efficient homes stand out\, and even see the estimated utility costs before they buy. To determine the score\, a third-party verifier analyzes the home’s features and construction techniques and tests performance factors such as air leakage and duct tightness. Builders that use EPS can also qualify for incentives from Energy Trust of Oregon. EPS has become the industry standard for new homes across Oregon\, as nearly 40% of new home construction statewide has earned above code standards through third party verification and a total of 7 neighborhoods across Central Oregon that require EPS for 100% of homes built within their development. \nWhy does EPS matter to code officials? The new Oregon residential code that takes effect in October 2017 represents an approx. 9% increase in the energy efficiency requirement from the previous code standard. Similar increases in standards are expected to occur in future code cycles\, and above-code EPS-rated homes help the building industry prepare for these changes. In other words\, the high performance home of today can be considered the code home of tomorrow. This training will provide code officials with insights into the features and approaches builders are using today and how they factor into code changes in 2017 and beyond. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nReview building science concepts of thermodynamics\, energy\, and heat transfer\nLearn about air movement and it’s effects on the thermal boundary’s insulating capacity\n\n\nGain an understanding of the features and techniques that go into EPS-rated high performance homes\nUnderstand new home building approaches\, technologies\, and emerging wall systems\n\n\nLook at an overview of solar technology and solar ready infrastructure\nAnticipate future increases in energy code standards\n\nCredits: ICC CEUs (exact number and approval pending)\, 4 CCB Series B\, 4 OCHI\nInstructor: John Spillman – BPI\, LEED Green Rater\, Energy Trust of Oregon (Profile »)
