SUMMARY:2025 Title 24\, Part 6 Essentials — Nonresidential Compliance: EnergyPro Advanced
DESCRIPTION:Date: July 29\, 2026 (See upcoming classes below)\n\n\nTime: 9:00 am – 12:00 pm PDT\n\n\nType: Virtual Classroom\n\n\nLocation: Online\n\n\nCEUs: ICC:0.3; AIA:3; CABEC:3\n\n\nInstructor: Martyn Dodd\n\n\nLevel: Advanced\n\n\n\nExperienced EnergyPro users\, get answers to your questions\, address special considerations and see how to use the software most effectively to demonstrate compliance with 2025 Title 24\, Part 6 Nonresidential Energy Code. \nRespond to a pre-session survey to let us know what you’re most interested in\, and we will do our best to incorporate your requests into the session. During the class we will cover commonly asked questions and will solicit additional questions from class participants and answer as many of them as possible in the allotted class time. \nThe training assumes participants have at least an intermediate level of hands-on experience using EnergyPro software as well as experience with and knowledge of the Energy Code and the Nonresidential compliance process. \nCourse objectives include: \n\nDescribe how rules-based\, energy analysis software is used to model performance and compliance under the Nonresidential Energy Code\, defining a baseline and proposed building and identifying appropriate design changes to the proposed building if it fails to comply.\nIdentify time-effective methods to accurately create a nonresidential compliance model.\nAvoid the most common compliance modeling pitfalls that can lead to an inaccurate representation of nonresidential building energy performance\, or failure to comply with the modeling requirements of the California Energy Commission\, or both.\nIdentify new compliance modeling requirements for energy-efficiency under the 2025 Nonresidential Energy Code and determine how to enter the required information in EnergyPro.

SUMMARY:2025 Title 24\, Part 6 Essentials — Single-family Standards: Mechanical Systems
DESCRIPTION:Weigh mechanical system alternatives for single-family projects based on client goals and preferences\, impact on energy efficiency and carbon reduction\, and compliance with the California Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24\, Part 6 or the Energy Code). \nWork individually and in teams to do a deep dive on single-family residential mechanical systems and features to weigh the pros and cons of alternative approaches and select a recommended approach given the project parameters. \nSpecific topics explored include: \n– Methods for improving energy performance of heating\, cooling\, distribution and fan components of heat pumps and gas-fired furnaces \n– Considerations associated with alternative HVAC systems (evaporative cooling\, ductless\, radiant in-floor\, heat pump) and make recommendations for a given project \n– The pros\, cons and considerations of whole-house ventilation strategies l Prescriptive compliance options for residential water heating systems and opportunities for compliance credit using the Performance Approach.

SUMMARY:2025 Title 24\, Part 6 Essentials — Single-family Standards for HVAC Contractor Installers
DESCRIPTION:This highly interactive online live course addresses general principles and hands-on application for contractors installing HVAC equipment to ensure compliance with California’s 2025 Single-family Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24\, Part 6 or the Energy Code). The course includes examples\, demonstrations and individual hands-on practice\, and addresses: \n\nWhen the 2025 Energy Code does and does not apply to a single-family HVAC project\nWhich requirements are triggered when you’re just changing out part of an HVAC system\nWhat the compliance process is\nWhen you need to involve an ECC Rater\nWorksheets that will help you collect and organize the information you need to enter into a ECC registry in order to generate applicable CF2R forms

SUMMARY:2025 Code Breaker: Energy Code Compliance Forms: A Goldmine of Design Insights!
DESCRIPTION:Is complying with the Energy Code just another chore? It doesn’t have to be! Gain valuable insight into your projects\, collaborate with your team\, AND build buildings that support Zero Net Carbon (ZNCD) goals via lower energy use and operational carbon. Join us for this one-hour session. See how to transform energy code compliance from a tedious task into a strategic advantage for your architectural practice. \nLearning Objectives:\n1. Determine Energy Code requirements based on project scope of work and project goals such compliance to the Energy Code\, Zero Net Carbon Design (ZNCD) and LEED.\n2. Identify the various compliance pathways available and determine which option is most appropriate for the project goals.\n3. Verify that design documents align with the Certificate of Compliance\, and satisfy the project goals\, using the Certificate of Compliance as a comprehensive checklist.\n4. Employ the performance approach to offer guidance on measuring energy usage and operational carbon of the proposed project goals. \nSME/Instructor Bio:\nMartyn C. Dodd\, Instructor\, Energy Code Ace\nHaving written software used in California for Title 24 energy code compliance since 1984\, Mr. Dodd is principal of EnergySoft\, a Bay Area company that specializes in performance-based energy analysis for Title 24 and LEED. He is one of the original authors of the 1992 Nonresidential Alternative Calculation Method (ACM) manual\, which defined the rules for code compliance software\, and became the model for both national and international code compliance software procedures. Mr. Dodd has been involved in the California standards development process for the past 5 decades and has consulted on the Title 24 rules and procedures extensively in that time.
