SUMMARY:Panel Detectives – Electrical Panel Assessments for Heat Pump Installers
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nAs more California homeowners begin electrifying their homes\, heat pump installers will be faced with the challenge of navigating electrical panel challenges including condition\, capacity\, fitment\, supply chain\, etc. With panel and service upgrades being costly and complex\, it’s important for practitioners to understand their options for running new circuits. In this session\, you’ll hear from Electrify My Home discuss real-world electrical panel scenarios including visual assessments\, electrical load calculations\, and examples of different solutions for “making it work.” \nLearning Objectives \n\nExplain why a full panel doesn’t necessarily mean no additional capacity is available\nName two reasons why upgrading a home’s electrical capacity may not be preferred\nList two solutions to fitting new circuits into a panel where no physical space is available\nLearn how to minimize cost of panel upgrades for your clients

SUMMARY:Single Family: Energy Code Implementation Series\, with 2025 Code Updates
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nAs the 2022 energy code wraps up its final year\, and the 2025 code emerges\, we see the trends of building electrification\, healthier indoor air quality and improved resiliency continue to permeate the code’s evolution. This series focuses on current best practices for implementation of energy strategies\, as well as what’s around the corner with the new code that will take effect Jan. 1\, 2026. With particular focus on the Central Coast region\, we’ll discuss on what to include in construction documents to streamline the permitting process and tips for construction to ease signoffs and occupancy for each building type. \n\nEnergy Code Implementation: Non-Residential\nEnergy Code Implementation: Single Family New Construction (this course!)\nEnergy Code Implementation: Single Family Additions and Alterations\nEnergy Code Implementation: ADUs\nEnergy Code Implementation: Multi-Family\n\nLearning Objective \n\nUnderstand the current and upcoming metrics and standards used in the energy code for evaluating energy performance and indoor air quality\, and how choices for electric or gas equipment may impact compliance with those standards.\nWithin each building type\, review key mandatory measures related to energy performance\, ventilation\, refrigerants and insulation and review potential challenges for integration into design and construction.\nReview the prescriptive “recipe card” approach versus a building performance approach\, and discuss when to use each strategy to best incorporate energy efficiency and healthy interior environments into the specific project design.\nRecognize where barriers or stumbling blocks may occur within permitting and construction and tips for documentation to smooth out the process\, ultimately increasing the energy efficiency\, health and safety of our buildings.

SUMMARY:Load Calculation Site Survey Essentials
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nA heating and cooling load calculation Is unique to every building. According to the author of the load calculation procedure “The accuracy of the load estimating procedure is only as good as the input\, and the input is only as good as the survey.” This virtual training will walk the participants through the home site survey data collection procedure for all the necessary inputs needed to perform a heating and cooling load calculation. \nLearning Objectives \n\nParticipants will learn what a load calculation is.\nParticipants will understand why the site survey data collection procedure is so important to producing an accurate load calculation\nParticipants will learn what information needs to be obtained during the site survey in order to create a load calculation\nParticipants will learn some of the challenges of site survey data collection

SUMMARY:Higher-Performance Residential Remodels
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nWorking through specific examples\, we’ll help project teams identify strategies that have the highest impact for improving energy efficiency\, comfort and indoor healthy environments in renovations and additions. Beginning with a focus on client needs and incorporating occupant goals\, a high-performance remodel may be phased or done all at once\, may focus on efficient equipment and appliances or more on indoor comfort\, and may be very visible or mostly behind-the-scenes. Come learn the art and science of high performance remodels! \nLearning Objectives \n\nLearn how existing energy performance and indoor air quality is evaluated\nReview the benefits and challenges of moving toward all-electric equipment and appliances in a remodel\nIdentify best practices and highest impact upgrades for retrofits\nCompare strategies for phasing-in improvements and where to start.
