2025 Title 24, Part 6 Essentials — Nonresidential & Multifamily Standards: Solar & Battery Storage
2026-05-12 09:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Energy Consultants, architects, and other designers, get up to date with the 2025 Energy Code for solar and battery-storage systems. Learn how to make appropriate recommendations regarding Solar Photovoltaic (PV) and battery-storage systems for Nonresidential and Multifamily projects within the context of the California Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24, Part 6 or the Energy Code), project requirements and client preferences.
We start with the basics, then explore key lessons from the field that address situations you likely will encounter. Throughout the course you will be working with colleagues on real-life projects to determine the appropriate PV and battery-storage requirements.
Course objectives include:

Explain key PV and battery-storage concepts
Determine the requirements for the PV area for a nonresidential or multifamily new construction project
Determine how to use the battery-storage requirement to meet project requirements
Modify PV and battery-storage requirements on a project given exceptions and real-life obstacles
