SUMMARY:Introduction to CBECC Energy Modeling Software for Nonresidential Buildings
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nThis hands-on class introduces the free California Energy Commission’s CBECC Energy Modeling software for Nonresidential buildings. Students will create a simplified model of a building and input data for the various building components. The intent of this training is to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of how to use this software tool to analyze proposed designs and document compliance with the 2022 Title 24 Standards for Nonresidential buildings. \nLearning Outcomes: \n\nGain understanding of CBECC capabilities and interface\nModel Nonresidential building components\, such as\, internal gains\, envelope\, and HVAC systems\nLearn how to generate compliance forms from CBECC and evaluate results\n\nTarget Audience: \n\nDesign Professionals\nEnergy Analysts\n\nLearning Units: \n\nN/A\n\nLearning Level:\nIntermediate Class: Content is appropriate for individuals who possess a fundamental understanding of the topic\, and have familiarity with basic terminology and methodology of the subject matter. Attendees should have the capacity to participate in instructor-led exercises requiring synthesis and application of concepts. \nPrerequisite:\nStudents should be familiar with the 2022 California Title 24 Part 6 Building Energy

SUMMARY:System Performance Module Parts 1-2 Webinar
DESCRIPTION:This 4 day intermediate webinar covers HVAC fundamentals for residential and light commercial systems in California. Topics include thermodynamics\, system performance\, load considerations\, airflow\, pressure control\, heating and cooling systems\, and quality maintenance. It also explores psychrometrics\, the Equal Friction method\, and field measurements for system efficiency. This series qualifies for 8 CEHs through North American Technician Excellence (NATE) with the completion of all 8 parts. \n3/23/2026\, 6:00-8:15pm Part 1: Fundamentals of building science and how buildings interact thermally with their environment. \nPart 2: Factors that cause variations in a building’s heat load and the basic principles of heat transfer and thermodynamics to evaluate HVAC system behavior under varying operating conditions. \n3/24/2026\, 6:00-8:15pm Part 3: Importance of Quality Insulation Installation (QII) and the basic principles of heat transfer and thermodynamics to evaluate HVAC system behavior under varying operating conditions. \nPart 4: Air moves in and out of a building’s envelope through a process called infiltration and exfiltration. Discussion will include the wind effect\, stack effect\, and fan effect. \n3/30/2026\, 6:00-8:15pm Part 5: Covers heating systems\, HVAC components and functions\, diagnostic checks\, CAQI standards\, airflow measurement tools\, Quality Maintenance\, and commissioning. \nPart 6: Covers the ACCA 4 California Quality Maintenance Standard\, impacts of poor HVAC upkeep\, the ACCA 5 maintenance practices\, and concludes with California Quality Service. \n3/31/2026\, 6:00-8:15pm Part 7: Fundamental characteristics of air\, including temperature\, humidity\, and pressure\, each essential for HVAC processes. Use the psychrometric chart to analyze air properties. \nPart 8: Critical role of indoor air quality and proper refrigerant charge in HVAC system performance. Calculate capacity\, delivered capacity\, and efficiency.
