SOLD OUT. An additional date is coming up soon. If you are interested, please join the waitlist.

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 course does not enable EAs to select heat pumps or make sizing recommendations.)

With content developed by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) instructor and CACEA member John Harris, DSG Building Diagnostics, will guide the group through the whole house F280 process. At the end of the course, participants will:
  • Understand why heat loss and gain calculations are needed for existing housing.
  • Understand important definitions and concepts used in heat loss and gain calculations.
  • Understand the whole‐house heat loss and gain calculation principles and content.
  • Recognize the similarities and differences between the data used for HOT2000 energy simulation and CSA F280 whole‐house heat loss and gain calculations.
  • Familiarize with verified software that can use HOT2000 inputs through a case study.
REGISTRATION:

CRITERIA:

  • This training is for registered energy advisors delivering the EnerGuide Rating System.
  • A “Full” category CACEA member OR a non-CACEA member REA who completed D&E files and modeled 15 homes onsite tested under an NRCan program (ERS, EnergyStar, R2000 or NetZero - D&E; P&N) which is SO validated OR put forward by CACEA Full Member in good standing.

  • NON-MEMBER REQUIREMENTS: $1 million Errors and Omissions Insurance and a signed SO confirmation letter (annually). (USE THIS LETTER ) Must upload the proof of coverage and letter to the registration form.
