SUMMARY:Advanced Framing: Quality Building with Less Lumber
DESCRIPTION:EVENT DETAILS\nMost houses are built with a surplus of wood framing that isn’t structurally necessary. Reducing that volume of wood means less cost and more insulation\, especially in wall assemblies. The course will go over the basics of wood framing\, then take you beyond typical framing practices and why alternatives are important. We’ll cover framing technical terms like “O.C.\,” Cripple\, Trimmer\, etc. and delve into alternative systems such as Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS). We’ll discuss Framing Factors and how they affect your energy compliance report. This course will also cover the origin of Advanced Framing and why it’s a great choice when framing buildings with wood\, even with exterior clad insulation. \nThis is a virtual event. Registered attendees will be sent a zoom link 24 hours prior to the event in the event confirmation email. \n  \nSPEAKER\n \nRon Kliewer – Owner of Kliewer & Associates \nRon Kliewer started out framing and remodeling homes and additions\, becoming a custom home builder/ General Contractor\, moving on to Special Inspector\, then BPI and IR Certified. He has worked around the world\, building everything from an outhouse to nuclear power plants\, while wearing many hats including Framer\, Finish Carpenter\, Cabinetmaker\, Electrician\, Plumber\, Special Inspector and Project Manager. He started building with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) decades ago\, and more recently used his expertise to manage the new construction and retrofits of over 2 dozen award winning energy efficient light commercial projects and the High-Performance Walls/ Attics “Smart Home” display at Southern California Edison’s (SCE)\, Energy Education Center in Irwindale.  \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\n1. Describe key components and terminology of residential wood framing systems\, including common members and spacing conventions.\n2. Apply advanced framing techniques to reduce unnecessary lumber use while maintaining structural integrity and improving wall assembly performance.\n3. Analyze how framing factors influence thermal performance and are reflected in Title 24 compliance documentation.\n4. Evaluate the cost\, material\, and labor savings potential of advanced framing methods compared to conventional practices\, including their suitability for projects with exterior continuous insulation \n  \nTHANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR!

SUMMARY:Charging Ahead: CALGreen EV Requirements for New Construction
DESCRIPTION:EVENT DETAILS\nOne of the biggest topics that building owners and operators need to be aware of in 2025 are important changes taking effect for electric vehicles (EVs) and EV infrastructure for California’s Green Building Code. California is aiming to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by requiring more light\, medium\, and heavy-duty EV charging opportunities for the increased forecast of EV on California’s roadways. Part of that solution is providing more charging opportunities in new construction and major retrofits as the customer demand for charging increases. \nThis training summarizes the new and revised requirements in the California Green Building Code for light\, medium\, and heavy-duty EV requirements\, and directs participants to informational resources that provide more in-depth information. These new requirements are mandated for multiple building types and parking lot designs for new construction and major retrofits. Join us to begin learning what the new California Green Building Code means to you and your customers. \nThis is a virtual event. Registered attendees will be sent a zoom link 24 hours prior to the event in the event confirmation email. \n  \nSPEAKERS\n \nGrant Alpert – Consultant\, West Monroe Partners \nGrant Alpert is a consultant with over 9 years of experience in automated driving and sustainability. He brings expertise in project management\, data analysis\, and strategic communication\, with experience across renewable energy\, automotive\, and sustainability sectors.
