SUMMARY:Home Performance Guild Monthly Member Meeting
DESCRIPTION:HPG works to create a strong and inclusive community of home performance contractors and industry professionals looking to grow their skills\, expertise\, business acumen\, and networks. We act as a hub for this community\, connecting members with partners\, training providers\, mentors\, funders\, industry stakeholders\, and opportunities to grow their businesses. At the center of our hub is our monthly member meeting – a space to learn\, ask questions\, make new friends and business connections\, and visit with old friends and colleagues. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEach month\, HPG members come together to share updates\, learn from guest speakers\, and collaborate on ways to strengthen Oregon’s home performance industry. These meetings provide a space for connection and problem-solving\, where the HPG community shares ideas\, explores new opportunities\, and stays informed about the latest trends\, incentives\, and best practices in building performance. Everyone leaves with fresh insights and stronger connections across the community. \nOur members typically meet on the third Thursday of the month from approximately 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at a variety of locations in the Portland metro area. \nLEARN MORE.

SUMMARY:Mastering Heat Loss & Heat Gain Calculations
DESCRIPTION:Selecting the right heat pump starts with accurate heat loss and heat gain calculations — a critical step in ensuring energy efficiency\, comfort\, and system longevity. \nThis interactive in-person training will equip HVAC professionals\, raters\, and contractors with the essential skills to properly size equipment for diverse building conditions. We’ll provide hands-on practice\, guiding participants through real-world load calculations using HVAC ST software that is based on Manual J calculations. Attendees will input data\, analyze results\, and refine calculations to ensure proficiency in accurate heat loss and heat gain assessments. \nWhile the class will use the HVAC ST tool\, the information learned through this process will inform the accuracy of heat loss & heat gain calculations regardless of the software individual contractors may use in their businesses. \nParticipants will explore best practices\, common pitfalls\, and real-world scenarios to avoid costly oversizing/undersizing mistakes. Whether you’re new to load calculations or looking to refine your approach\, this course provides the technical knowledge and practical application needed to make informed\, data-driven decisions. \nWhy Attend? \n✅ Learn essential HVAC load calculations\n✅ Avoid costly oversizing/undersizing mistakes\n✅ Earn continuing education credits (BPI\, OR CCB\, NATE) – at no cost! \nWhat You’ll Learn: \n\nUnderstand the significance of accurate heat loss and heat gain calculations in HVAC system selection and performance.\nReview Manual J calculations and the impacts of different building characteristics on the heating and cooling loads\nAnalyze key variables — including R-values\, ACH rates\, duct multipliers\, and solar heat gain — to determine their impact on load calculations.\nAssess cooling load considerations\, such as window orientation and solar gain factors\, to optimize HVAC system sizing.\nApply climate-specific strategies to adjust load calculations and improve energy efficiency in diverse building conditions.\n\nRequired for the Training \n\nPrior to training day\, create a FREE account at BetterBuiltNW HVAC Sizing Tool.\nBring a laptop for the laptop-based practice portion of the training.\n\nSpace is limited. Be sure to REGISTER as soon as possible!  \nREGISTER HERE!
