BayREN C&S Training: Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) - offered in partnership with Energy Code Ace
2024-08-07 09:00 - 10:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Online
This virtual course focuses on requirements in the 2022 Energy Code (Title 24, Part 6) for accessory dwelling units (ADU) in an event supported by Energy Code Ace and BayREN. We will discuss how to identify the ADU type and its impact on Energy Code requirements for envelope, mechanical, photovoltaics (PV), battery storage or battery ready and HERS measures. We will also review how the compliance metrics differ depending on ADU type, including the new EDR source energy metrics for new construction ADUs.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:

Establish if an ADU design is considered an alteration, addition, or a new residential building per the Energy Code.
Discuss the envelope (roof, walls, floors, fenestration) requirements associated with the ADU type (alteration, addition, new construction) under the 2022 Energy Code.
Recognize the renewable energy requirements of ADU type including photovoltaics (PV), battery storage, and battery ready.
Determine mechanical equipment requirements, including any HERS verification measure options that provide ADU design flexibility, and how utility source energy metric may impact those choices.

Available CEUs: AIA (1.5 LU), ICC (0.10 CEU) and CABEC (1.5 LU)

2025 Title 24, Part 6 Essentials — Residential Standards: Lighting
2025-11-05 09:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Online
Do you specify, design, install, or inspect lighting installations in new and remodeled residences? Or do you evaluate proposed lighting designs for compliance with California’s 2025 Residential Energy Code? If so, this course is for you!
Activities and information presented in the class focus on Title 24, Part 6 (Energy Code) requirements for:

Lighting and lighting controls inside single-family homes
Outdoor lighting and lighting controls for single-family homes
Indoor and outdoor lighting controlled from within a multifamily dwelling unit or hotel/motel guest room

The class will cover an overview of current lighting technologies, such as high-efficacy luminaires and controls options, and how these products must meet the certification requirements of Title 20 (Appliance Standards) and JA8 (high-efficacy light source Energy Code requirements).
We will review a variety of products available and how to identify if they are “certified.” Understanding the how and when of the Energy Code for residential lighting installations can be hard. Let us help make it easy.
