SUMMARY:2024 Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Buildings
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Buildings is the 23rd biennial event. Summer Study will bring together professionals from around the globe to the Asilomar Conference Grounds to collaborate\, debate and advance the technologies\, practices and research necessary to equitably decarbonize the building sector in a manner that addresses the urgency of the climate crisis. \nThe 2024 theme is Equity and Climate Action: Time to Deliver. In August 2022\, Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)\, an unprecedented investment to transform our built environment and electricity sector to be safer and healthier\, reducing carbon emissions and prioritizing the needs of underserved communities. At the same time\, climate crisis is now a reality and is becoming more urgent and critical by the day. The Rhodium Group estimates that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the US increased by 1.3% in 2022.  While emissions from the electric power sector decreased in 2022\, outside of the power sector\, emissions increased slightly. The most significant increase was seen in direct emissions from buildings\, which rose by 6% and was the only sector to rebound to pre-pandemic levels. This is our opportunity to right the ship\, take advantage of this critical moment in history and identify the innovations that will deliver climate justice through deep emissions reductions in our buildings.

SUMMARY:Heat Pumps for Heating and Cooling – Part 2: All-Electric Design and Construction Series
DESCRIPTION:All-Electric Design & Construction Series \nOn the path to Zero Net Carbon Design\, building electrification is the key to reducing operational carbon. In this course\, we’ll share the nuts and bolts of incorporating all-electric systems into residential and small commercial projects\, including tips for implementation as well as client communication. We’ll provide straight-forward information on current systems and technologies plus a look ahead at what’s emerging in the market. \nPart 1: Carbon Reduction through Building Electrification will address California’s targets for carbon reduction\, status of the clean power grid\, the role of energy storage and emerging options for refrigerants. \nPart 2: Heat Pumps for Heating and Cooling\, will address ducted and ductless heat pumps for thermal comfort. \nPart 3: Domestic Hot Water\, will focus on integrated and split-system Heat Pump Water Heaters\, as well as combination systems and point-of-use electric resistance water heaters \nPart 4: Ventilation and HRV\, will look at exhaust fans\, ducted ventilation and heat recovery ventilators that support energy efficiency and healthy interiors \nPart 5: Appliances & Energy Storage\, looks at electric options for cooktops\, dryers and other appliances as well as current and emerging battery technologies for energy storage. \nLearning Objectives \n\nLearn the ‘why’ behind California’s shift to building electrification and the link to Zero Net Carbon Design\nLearn the pros and cons of various products to help in selecting appropriate systems that meet electrification and carbon-reduction goals\nLearn critical installation details such as dimensions and venting to call out in plans and/or identify early in construction\nUnderstand the local market for specific all-electric/ZNCD equipment\, including cost\, availability and lead times\n\nInstructors: Jennifer Rennick and Grant Murphy\, In Balance Green Consulting \nThis series has been developed to fulfill the California requirement for five hours of ZNCD education as part of architecture license renewal. Although created with architects in mind\, the content is broadly applicable across the building industry. \nZero Net Carbon Design CEUs Available\, 1 HSW|LU per class\, 5 HSW|LUs in total.
