Advanced lighting controls workshop for design and building professionals
2019-05-02 07:30 - 16:00 | White Stag Building, 70 NW Couch Street, Portland, OR, 97209, United States
Advanced lighting controls offer the opportunity to balance the visual environment, enhance space flexibility and improve occupant satisfaction while saving significant amounts of energy and improving maintenance cycles. Designing and implementing these high-quality control systems can also help differentiate contractors and designers from competitors.
In this free one-day, hands-on workshop, brought to you by Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) and Energy Trust of Oregon, participants will learn industry best practices and strategies before tackling an example project. This comprehensive workshop, offered through Lighting Design Lab, will introduce participants to modern lighting control strategies and equipment with instruction on how to effectively implement them in various projects. The workshop will cover system design, installation, sequence of operations and startup. Training participants will then apply these best practices to design demonstration systems and program the controls hardware of two industry leading manufacturers.

Presenter:
Shaun Darragh, senior lighting specialist, Lighting Design Lab
Shaun Darragh has enjoyed more than 30 years in the lighting industry as an award-winning architectural lighting designer, design instructor, daylighting and sustainability specialist, lighting control system consultant, and theatrical designer. Prior to rejoining the Lighting Design Lab in 2017, he led several lighting design studios—most recently Luma Lighting Design in Seattle.

Shaun has a long background of teaching and consulting on sustainability issues, human factors, lighting, daylighting and lighting controls. He recently developed and implemented a comprehensive education curriculum for the Lighting Design Lab and serves as an instructor for the University of Washington College of the Built Environments.

Earth Advantage Broker
2019-04-30 - 2019-05-01 | Earth Advantage, 623 SW Oak St, Suite 300, Portland, OR, 97205, United States
The Earth Advantage Broker accreditation course provides real estate professionals with a competitive edge in communicating features and benefits for green and energy efficient home opportunities in their market.
Are you prepared to meet increasing homebuyer demand for healthy, comfortable, efficient homes?
A nationwide study in 2016* found that 81% of people who expect to buy a new home in the next two years say higher energy efficiency would cause them to choose one home over another AND that they would be willing to pay more for a healthier home. Policies and programs are also growing the green home market, such as the City of Portland Home Energy Score Program and the more than 1 in 3 new homes built in Oregon that have earned an EPS® from Energy Trust of Oregon demonstrating they perform an average of 22% better than code-built homes.
The big picture shows a dramatic rise in the popularity of green and energy efficient homes that provide a healthier living environment and greater energy, water, and resource efficiency. Stay on top of your game by becoming an Earth Advantage Broker so you can continue to exceed homebuyer expectations with savvy information and recommendations.
A ‘Newly Remodeled’ Training
Earth Advantage Broker was updated in 2018 and now provides the most relevant and must-know green home information designed to help real estate professionals.
New resources. New activities. New modular approach:

The Anatomy of a Green Home

Millennials & Smart Homes Are Changing Real Estate
How Homebuyers Ask for Green (Without Saying the Word)
​Top 10 Green Broker Resources

Learn how to upgrade or sell a green home and market yourself as a green professional.
Homebuyers and sellers rely on their real estate agents to provide influential guidance, and yet a 2017 report by the National Association of Realtors** shows that only 39% of realtors are comfortable answering clients’ questions about energy efficiency. Homebuyers with ready access to the internet will expect you to know more and be a trusted advisor in their purchasing decisions. Being a ‘green professional’ means you are ahead of the curve and understand how houses are changing. In order to best serve your clients, you will be expected to have earned a green designation proving that you have knowledge of the green home market, can discuss green features and benefits, and recommend the best ways to upgrade.
Earn the Earth Advantage Broker Accreditation
Take the course & pass the accreditation exam in order to become an EA Broker. Earth Advantage provides marketing support in the form of logos and a professional listing on the accredited professionals registry to help you display and promote your green credential to future clients.
