CACEA

The Integrated Design Process (IDP) is a highly collaborative approach to achieving sustainable (low energy, low carbon) practices and outcomes for both new construction and existing homes. It ensures delivery of affordable, durable, healthy homes for Canadians. 

CACEA is offering an interactive training program designed to provide comprehensive information about the IDP. The program places a strong emphasis on facilitation skills, equipping participants with the tools and techniques needed to lead and effectively guide this crucial process.

Details about the webinar will be shared soon.

November is National Radon Month and the Canadian Association of Consulting Energy Advisors (CACEA), in partnership with the Canadian Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (CARST), has designed a training program for Energy Advisors.

With a focus on EAs and their work, Dan Boyd will discuss the differences and similarities between F280-12 heat loss/gain calculations, and provide specific examples by comparing HOT2000 inputs and outputs with values derived using HRAI procedures. Based on CSA Standard F280-12, participants gain a firsthand introduction to the basic principles of building science and heat loss/gain. Through a variety of in-class exercises, participants will learn how to:

● Determine the thermal resistance (R-value) of various building assemblies, such as walls and ceilings;

Registered EAs delivering the EnerGuide Rating System (ERS) will be able to perform accurate whole-house design heat loss and gain calculations using verified software for existing housing in the retrofit market to help with the sizing of the heating and cooling equipment based primarily on the information collected during a home energy evaluation, with a little additional F280-compliant information as needed. By completing the course, this is a service you can offer homeowners and contractors, providing a value an HVAC professional can use to size a heat pump

This virtual event will bring EAs together to address business topics that impact EAs. This highly interactive event will maximize networking and engagement while providing practical expertise that can be applied to your business practices. Whether you are working independently, are part of an EA company, or at the start of your EA career, there will be something for you.
