SUMMARY:Oregon Drive Less Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Discover healthy\, green travel options for work\, school\, errands\, and play—join the Oregon Drive Less Challenge Oct. 1-15! Burn calories instead of gas by biking to work\, or walking to the store. Divide the ride and the cost by carpooling or vanpooling. Take the bus and let someone else do the driving so you can listen to music\, or read that page-turning book. Then log your trips at DriveLessConnect.com to win weekly and grand prizes! Over 55 prizes will be awarded.

SUMMARY:Cost Effective Pathway to Zero Energy Homes
DESCRIPTION:Hear the latest developments on new and cost-effective approaches to ZE construction.\n\n\n The State of California’s building code requires that all new buildings in CA be built to zero energy standards by 2020\, and the Governor of Oregon issued an executive order in 2017 that requires all new homes to achieve a zero energy ready standard by 2023. A rapidly increasing number of architects and builders in Oregon are stepping up to the challenge by creating zero energy homes and have been doing so for many years. The question is\, how can this be achieved cost effectively? \nAdvanced heat pump technology\, lighting\, and solar PV options are challenging the old zero energy paradigm of investments in air sealing\, insulation\, and expensive window upgrades. Earth Advantage has also recently switched from a “site” to “source” definition for Zero Energy home certification\, which now allows gas-heated homes to be eligible. \n\n\n\nThis will be an in-person broadcast of the webinar followed by a local market discussion and Q&A with local Zero Energy home certification providers. Then join Energy Trust of Oregon for an energy efficient home site visit afterward. \nAttend this webinar and learn the different interpretations of what “zero energy” means and how builders are cost-effectively achieving it in the Pacific Northwest.  \n\n\n\nContinuing Education\nCCB: 1 CE\nAIA LU: 1 CE\n\nFREE – RSVP \n(Regularly $19 – Made possible in part by the support of Earth Advantage sponsors)\n\nAudience\nArchitects\, Builders\, Developers\, Engineers\, Program Representatives\, Raters/Verifiers\, Remodelers\, Subcontractors\n\n\nInstructor\n\nRyan Shanahan: Ryan is a Senior Green Building Consultant with Earth Advantage. He is a certified Passive House Consultant\, one of three PHIUS+ Raters in the state of Oregon\, a HERS Rater\, and an ENERGY STAR verifier. He guides home builders through the planning and design phase all the way through completion to ensure that they utilize best practices and achieve Earth Advantage\, ENERGY STAR\, DOE Zero Energy Homes\, indoor AirPLUS\, Water Sense\, LEED-H\, or Passive House certification program standards. Before becoming a green building consultant\, Ryan was a builder account manager and residential field rater for Earth Advantage. Ryan holds a Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Design from Boston Architectural College.\n\nQuestions? Contact Heather Kendall at hkendall@earthadvantage.org or 503-968-7160 x20.

SUMMARY:Energy Efficient Home Site Visit
DESCRIPTION:Join this guided CE tour and gain a behind the walls look at a high performing energy efficient home in Bend.  \nEvery 1 in 3 new homes built in Oregon receive an EPS® verifying their energy performance\, and the average EPS-rated home in Oregon performs 22% more energy efficient than a code-built home. \nEnergy Trust of Oregon invites building professionals to attend this guided tour of an under-construction high performing EPS home in order to find out how they’re built and what it takes to achieve the EPS standard. Hear directly from the home builder and Energy Trust of Oregon staff about the typical features that go into EPS homes and the homeowner benefits that they provide: A more comfortable\, durable home with healthier air quality and cost-saving energy efficiency. \nLearning Objectives\n\n\nSee first-hand what envelope design and mechanical system features are included an EPS-rated home\nUnderstand the differences between a code-built home and a EPS built home\nLearn about utility programs and incentives to support above-code building\nHear directly from the home builder about strategies and benefits of high-performance building\nTranslate energy efficiency into health/comfort/savings/durability benefits that will resonate with different homebuyers\n\nLocation\nBend\, OR\n\nThe exact addresses for the homes will be emailed to those that RSVP a few days prior to the event
