Class Overview:
Day 5- Building Envelope
CLASSROOM: Discuss ‘Thermal Bypass and Quality Insulation Installation’, ‘Thermal Imaging’.
HANDS ON: Inspect a wall section, working some of the areas discussed, Use an IR camera and review the results, using a hot wall for the training.
Class Overview
The New Homes Solar Partnership for Solar PV rater verification process is covered in full day class and includes information on the program plus efficiency measures (building envelope and renewables including PV and Solar Thermal), photovoltaic system siting, shading, equipment verification, PV system technologies, Title 24 Residential Performance compliance, tangent lookups, compass rose, installation and verification information and solar glossary.
Audience
Electricians and other building professionals interested in Solar PV installation.
Class Overview
This session covers the science and application of airflow principles to the efficient operation of HVAC equipment. Many of the residential systems in California suffer from the inefficiencies caused by high static pressure. Included in this training is a hands-on portion designed to compare various filters, fittings and layout issues that cause high static pressures.
Class Overview
A residential split system air conditioner undergoes its final assembly at the time of installation. An important factor is the amount of refrigerant in the system (commonly referred to as proper charging). Air conditioner energy efficiency suffers if the refrigerant charge is either too low or too high. This training is designed to assist Raters and HVAC technicians to properly perform a Refrigerant Charge verification. This is a Hands-on class with operational equipment. Please feel free to bring your verification equipment.
This ½ day program goes through the Building Science behind Heat, Moisture and Pressure transfers that occur dynamically each day. Using the principles found in the “Second Law” we can locate problems affecting buildings. This is part of the Series dealing with Building and Pressure Diagnostics.
