The ARCSA Interational Rainwater Harvesting Systems Advanced Class
Mojave Learning Center, Additonal Cost - $150 (Advanced Class only - no test); $505 (Recertification + with test)
This course will be combined with the ARCSA International Recertification Class which is required for renewing a professional ASSE 21000 Series Certification.
The advanced four-hour class will delve deeper in the requirements for a rainwater catchment system. This class will provide an overview of the latest requirement for both active and passive systems, discuss both outdoor and in-building rainwater use, discuss sanitation for potable uses, and discuss rules and regulations. There will be several seasoned rainwater harvesting professionals, in addition to the instructor to answer questions that may arise.
For those taking the class for Recertification, this course qualifies for renewing one or all three ASSE 21000 certifications, one course, one exam, renews ASSE 21110, 21120 and/or 21130. You will have 30 days to register for the ASSE 21000 Series Rainwater Catchment Systems Designer, Installer, and Inspector Recertification Exam. It is anticipated that the student will additionally review their ARCSA Rainwater Harvesting Manual, the Plumbing Engineering and Design Standards ARCSA/ASPE/ANSI 63-2020: Rainwater Catchment Systems, and ARCSA/ASPE/ANSI 78-2023: Stormwater Harvesting Systems Design for Direct End-Use Applications.

The Water Demand Calculator in Practice (0.15 CEUs)
IAPMO Education
Primrose A, The IAPMO Water Demand Calculator® has been available since 2017. In the interim, many buildings have been built using its revised estimates of peak water demand. While there is clear evidence that the revised predictions are more in line with what should be expected based on current flow rates and patterns of use, there is limited data on what is going on in plumbing systems that have been built using the Water Demand Calculator as the basis of design. In this presentation, we will share field data that compares measured flow rates to the Water Demand Calculator and traditional Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) predictions in some of these buildings. We will also share data on the critical path piping for a 90-unit, mid-rise apartment building, looking at the flow rates, velocities, and pressure loss experienced in the different segments along this critical path. The newly released Water Demand Calculator Pro or WDC Pro software will also be discussed. Through detailed presentations and analysis, attendees will gain valuable insights into the performance and design considerations of water distribution systems.
