California Multi-Family New Homes (CMFNH) would like to
invite you to the following training series presented by the
CMFNH team and sponsored by Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E). Learn how
to design high performance new multi-family projects and qualify
for cash incentives for builder/developers and the energy
consultant/design team.
We are in the process of developing a new webinar series -
please check back soon for dates, times, and details
Training Dates
*Please note that a minimum of two
years experience using EnergyPro is required, basics will not be
taught.
Participants
are also required to bring their own laptops with the latest
version of EnergyPro software installed.
Training Descriptions
Program Overview
- Role of Energy Consultant and HERS Rater Webinar
Speakers:
Linda S. Murphy and Keith Sage
2010
marks the start of a new program cycle for California’s
utilities. This webinar will highlight one of these
programs, PG&E California Multi-Family New Homes (CMFNH).
CMFNH facilitates deep energy savings utilizing a
performance-based, integrated design approach (i.e.
exceeding 2008 Title 24 by a minimum of 15%) for
multi-family new construction projects. The 2010-2012
program cycle of CMFNH includes significant changes that
will affect participating projects throughout Northern
California. This presentation will cover the program
requirements and processes from the perspective of the HERS
rater and energy consultant.
Also please note that
2
residential continuing education units (CEUs) for CABEC CEA’s are available for this
webinar.
Multi-Family Building Simulation Workshops
Speakers:
Linda S. Murphy and Jeff Staller
The
Advanced Workshop is designed for energy consultants, HERS
raters, mechanical engineers, and other industry professionals
actively modeling multi-family buildings using EnergyPro. Prior
experience with Title 24 documentation and use of EnergyPro
software is required for participants of the Advanced Building
Simulation Training workshop. This workshop will not cover
basics in the use of EnergyPro.
The
workshop will focus on techniques and tips for using EnergyPro
to model energy efficiency measures typically used to
cost-effectively maximize multi-family building energy
efficiency. In a small group setting, attendees will use plans
and energy models of real multi-family projects to consider
several energy efficiency options. The exercises provide a
hands-on opportunity to learn how to explore the energy impact,
and Title 24 compliance margin impact, of several energy
efficient scenarios using the EnergyPro* software program.
Modeling
topics will include:
-
Modeling of multiple central domestic water heating
distribution systems
-
Combined hydronic water and space heating systems in
high rise buildings
- 4
pipe fan coil systems served by central systems
(chillers, cooling towers, pumps) vs. split system HVAC
systems
-
Variable Refrigerant Volume Systems
-
Correctly modeling buildings with out cooling systems
- High
performance envelope systems
*Please note that this workshop will only utilize EnergyPro software and
thus your modeling experience with this software is important.
This workshop will not cover Micropas, eQUEST or other related
software.
Also please note that
3
residential and 3 nonresidential
continuing education units (CEUs) for CABEC CEA’s
are available for this workshop.
