SUMMARY:On the Level-Installation Elements for ERVs & HRVs
DESCRIPTION:Among home builders and designers seeking airtight performance with balanced ventilation\, many have decided to go with either a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) or energy recovery ventilator (ERV). Increasing code standards for ventilation will likely result in more HRV/ERV installations\, and with any new technology or approach\, this can lead to installation errors or inefficiencies. \nJoin us for this session with Bruce Sullivan of Base Zero LLC where we’ll go over the different use cases for HRVs/ERVs and help you navigate the strategies and pitfalls to help ensure an effective installation. \nWhat you’ll learn: \n\nIdentify the essential components of balanced heat recovery ventilator (HRV) and an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) ventilation systems\nDescribe the difference between HRVs and ERVs as well as the appropriate applications of each\nList the steps for designing an effective HRV or ERV system\nUnderstand the key installation details to ensure effective system operation\nExplain the importance of high-efficiency filtration for ventilation make up air

SUMMARY:Zero Energy Homes: Updates & Cost Effective Approaches Webinar
DESCRIPTION:A rapidly increasing number of architects and builders in Oregon are ahead of the curve and building homes to Zero Energy (ZE) and Zero Energy Ready (ZER) standards\, and have been doing so for many years. Oregon also recently announced a proposed zero energy ready standard for the 2020 code. The question is\, how can this be achieved cost effectively?  \nJoin us for this free 1-hour webinar and gain valuable info on the latest developments and construction approaches to ZE & ZER construction. \nAttendees will benefit from learning about: \n\nAvailable Energy Trust EPS incentives through new Net Zero and Energy Smart Home offerings\nSpotlights on three spec builders who are achieving ZER in today’s market\nMain differences between various ZE & ZER certifications programs in our region\nOregon’s ‘Zero Energy Ready Residential Building Code’ that is anticipated to go into effect Oct. 1\, 2020\nTwo most common pathways to cost-effective ZER homebuilding\nHow gas-heated homes can qualify for ZE & ZER certification\nUpcoming one-day Zero Energy Homes trainings being offered this April in Hood River\, Portland\, Medford & Bend\n\nAdvanced heat pump technology\, lighting\, and solar PV options are challenging the old zero energy paradigm of investments in air sealing\, insulation\, and expensive window upgrades. Help educate your clients on what will really help them save energy versus what might drive the cost of construction out of reach. \nAttend this free 1-hour webinar and learn the different interpretations of what ZE & ZER mean and how spec builders are currently achieving it in the Pacific Northwest. \nQuestions? Contact Heather Kendall at hkendall@earthadvantage.org or 503-968-7160 x20.

SUMMARY:Oregon Home Energy Score: A New Statewide Opportunity
DESCRIPTION:Join Earth Advantage and the Oregon Association of Realtors for this webinar designed to help real estate professionals understand how the new statewide Oregon Home Energy Score program works and how to leverage it with your clients to help them clearly identify energy costs and upgrade opportunities.  \nTake advantage of this new voluntary program that can help clients get a Home Energy Score and easily understand energy costs\, upgrade options and paybacks. \nThe Oregon Dept. of Energy’s (ODOE) new Home Energy Score initiative was launched in early 2019 in order to offer a statewide\, standardized approach to home energy scoring. A Home Energy Score helps homeowners and homebuyers identify improvements that can make a big difference in energy savings\, comfort\, health and durability. Providing a Home Energy Score at the time of listing can also give sellers a boost in the current housing market where energy efficiency and renewable energy are highly valued. A score can also help homebuyers – especially first-time buyers – understand how energy bills could affect their budget in a new home. \nAttend this webinar and gain a comprehensive overview of the new program and answers to common questions that will help you become the ultimate resource for your clients. \n\n\nThe Oregon Home Energy Score will provide a voluntary framework for homeowners to hire a trained and authorized Home Energy Assessor to perform a Home Energy Assessment and deliver a Home Energy Score. The Home Energy Score was developed by US Dept. of Energy and is currently being used in the City of Portland’s Home Energy Score program. Earth Advantage implements the program on behalf of ODOE and City of Portland by providing Home Energy Assessor training\, authorization\, and quality assurance services in order to ensure scoring accuracy and consistency across communities. Learn more about the Oregon Home Energy Score program on ODOE’s website\, including information about how to find or become an authorized assessor. To locate Oregon homes with energy scores or green certifications\, visit us.greenbuildingregistry.com. \n\n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\n\n\nUnderstand the relevance of energy efficiency to home buyers\nLearn the ins-and-outs of the Oregon Home Energy Score program\nKnow how/where to direct clients for a Home Energy Assessment and next steps\nUnderstand what makes an above- or below-average score\nLearn how to explain the score to buyers/sellers\nGain resources and info to support and best serve your clients\nAbout the Oregon Home Energy Score
