This class will consist of a 5-6 hour guided study session for the EPA 608 exam, followed by a closed book, online certification exam. This certification is required for all HERS Raters who wish to perform refrigerant charge verification. The cost of the exam is $50. The 5-6 hour guided study session and study guide are free. If you already own the Mainstream Engineering EPA 608 study guide, you only need to pay the test fee. We will NOT be covering the Type I or Type III materials. We will only be covering the Core materials and the Type II materials. You are free to take whatever parts of the exam you want to, but HERS Raters only need to be Type II certified to perform refrigerant charge verification for Title 24 purposes.
This class has an online exam with an associated cost of $50 in order to receive certificate. Payment must be made prior to class to reserve seat. Please call for more info.

Many homeowners are considering changing ‘Gas Furnaces’ to ‘Heat Pumps’ to provide residential heating and cooling.
The Training builds upon the ACCA Wrightsoft series and focuses on the Science of correct sizing of Heat pump systems and includes a Wrightoft computer lab portion.
The session builds upon Manual ‘J’ and provides a foundation upon which Manual ‘H’ will be built.
It is recommended that attendees bring their own laptop preloaded with the Wrightsoft Demo software
As homes become tighter and use energy more efficiently, airflow and airflow balance is going to become increasingly important . Comfort and indoor environmental quality are dependent upon proper airflow into each room. The session starts with a classroom discussion covering the basic science and calculations involving airflow balance. Followed by a lab session that allows the material covered in the classroom to be put to practical use in a lab exercise.
Airflow measurements will be made with a flow grid and flow hood, other topics that will be demonstrated focus on the California Title 24 Part 6, approved Airflow measurement and Fan Watt efficacy calculations.
