The 3-hour seminar is the class given prior to the first HERS (Home Energy Rating System) class given by the CBPCA (California Building Performance Contractors Association). The seminar reviews how the emerging building performance industry is impacting the work of building officials, inspectors, planning personnel, policy makers, and many types of contractors and green building consultants. Current funding available through AB811 tax assessments, federal tax credits, stimulus funding, and utility rebates starting in early 2010 are creating new business opportunities and driving the development of the building performance industry. Learn how you can take advantage of these opportunities in Sonoma County and surrounding areas. In addition, the fundamentals of building science principals will be discussed.
Californias Long-Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan establishes aggressive goals for reducing energy consumption in homes by 40% statewide by 2020. To meet this target, cities and counties around California are developing aggressive new policies and programs to support and grow the necessary businesses to achieve this goal. Learn how Sonoma County is making progress and how you can take advantage of the emerging opportunities.

Terramor, a sustainable community in Orange County, is one of the largest sustainable communities in the country. Built on 4000 acres of land, Terramor boasts 1,260 residences in 12 distinctive neighborhoods.
Sustainable features include:
Energy Efficiency and Reduced Carbon Emissions – EnergyStar appliances, photovoltaic panels integrated into the roofing, electric vehicle charging in garages, Live-Work units to bring services to the community and reduce carbon emissions resulting from commuting, architectural shades, natural ventilation, low-voltage outdoor lighting.
Water Efficiency – Irrigation is controlled by a weather-responsive centrally-controlled irrigation system of rain gauges which contributes to reduced water consumption and utility costs for maintaining the common areas, utilization of greywater to irrigate the landscape, use of drip irrigation, low-flow water fixtures.
Renewable Materials – Cocoon® insulation, which consists of at least 80 percent recycled material and is fire retardant
Locally Sourced Materials
Recycling of Construction Waste – Terramor Village builders diverted between 66%-74% of their construction waste from landfills, green waste or landscape clippings used as mulch
Air Quality – low VOC paints and coatings, formaldehyde free insulation and building materials
Landscaping – shade and tree canopies, drought tolerant plants, edible gardens with fruit bearing trees
Terramor’s energy program was aimed at reducing energy by 20%, but in reality, a whooping 30% was realized. In addition, Terramor was designed to save water by 20%, and this goal has also been exceeded.
Thanks to John Lehe from EDAW, a global design & planning firm, for giving us a tour of this amazing development.
