SUMMARY:Modeling All-Electric Homes in the 2022 Energy Code
DESCRIPTION:All-Electric Homes are having their moment\, with state policies\, incentives\, and energy code providing builders\, homeowners\, and energy consultants a strong nudge toward all-electric designs. We will go over how to model all-electric homes (single family and multifamily) for maximum compliance benefit\, including the Variable Capacity Heat Pump (VCHP) compliance credit and Heat Pump Water Heaters. We’ll also cover PV sizing and how that may differ for all-electric homes and mixed-fuel homes. Retrofits and new construction will also be covered with examples using tri-county climate zones. \nLearning Outcomes: \n\nUnderstand why all-electric homes are important\nLearn the energy code requirements for heating and cooling\, water heating\, cooking\, and laundry\nUnderstand how electric systems perform under the performance method for Title 24 compliance\nHear best practices for modeling all-electric homes\n\nTarget Audience: \n\nEnergy consultants\nHomeowners\nGeneral contractors\nSubcontractors\nArchitects\n\nLearning Units: \n1.5 AIA LU approved for this course0.15 ICC CEU approved for this course \nInstructor: \nNick Brown\, Build Smart Group

SUMMARY:Residential Compliance Forms for Permitting
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nWe will go through the residential Title 24 energy code compliance forms\, highlighting those areas that frequently snag a plan review under the 2022 Energy Code. We’ll discuss what goes into the forms\, how to identify errors and inconsistencies and how to get it right the first time. This course is beneficial for architects\, engineers and other design professionals\, builders\, owners and developers\, plans examiners\, and others who are interested in efficiency and accuracy in energy code compliance. \nLearning Objectives \n\nUnderstand how to read and correlate information from permit drawings to the CF1-R\nIdentify areas of inconsistency that frequently snag a plan review\nBe able to evaluate anticipated energy performance and opportunities for improvement\nDetermine which measures identified in the CF1-R trigger construction verification\n\nLearning Units \n1 AIA LUs Approved for this course \n0.10 ICC CEUs Approved for this course \nInstructors \nJennifer Rennick\, In Balance Green Consulting \nGrant Murphy\, In Balance Green Consulting

SUMMARY:Installing Heat Pump Water Heaters in Manufactured Homes
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nManufactured homes are an underserved market for home energy upgrades that come with unique opportunities and challenges. Attend this in-person training to learn best practices for installing ducted heat pump HVAC systems in a double wide manufactured home. Complementary lunch will be provided from Lincoln Deli. \nAttendees can meet at Chumash Village Community Room for lunch and can park outside the main building. After lunch they will move to a double wide unit located on site for the training. \nLearning Objectives \n\nHow to size heat pump water heaters for manufactured homes\nThe importance of thermostatic mixing valves and expansion tanks\nVentilation best practices\nInstallation techniques for plug-in water heaters.\nWhen and how to re-pipe to accommodate a new water heater\n\nInstructor \nRich Souther\, Pacific Heating & Sheet Metal
