Part 1 Setting the Stage: Carbon in the Built Environment This session will take a holistic view of carbon drivers in the built environment. The first part in the series will set the stage for the next two courses, outlining key definitions and drivers and presenting a path towards carbon neutral design. Through case studies we'll explore holistic carbon on recent projects and areas where designers can have the most significant influence.

Globally, the scientific community agrees that we must reduce carbon emissions to significantly reduce the impact of global warming. In the US, buildings account for 40% of carbon emissions. In this class, Steve Easley focuses on the top roadblocks and solutions for a timelier transition to decarbonization and electrification. For wide scale electrification to happen in a timely manner it will have to happen from the customer side of the meter. This class will address how best to make this |

Part 2 Embodied Carbon and Zero Carbon Operations This session will focus on both embodied carbon and operational carbon. We'll talk about leveraging whole building lifecycle assessment (LCA) to achieve meaningful embodied carbon reductions. We'll also focus on methodologies to more accurately predict operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and using expertise in energy efficiency design alongside new hourly GHG emissions data to take projects beyond net zero energy.

Building electrification is advancing quickly with over 40 California jurisdictions adopting reach codes to advance electrification, which is critical to meet our local and state goals. In this class, we will discuss the benefits of electrification and the current policy and code considerations, provide an overview of what should be considered in an all-electric multifamily project (both new and retrofit), and explore technologies for electrification for all end uses, as well as the role of solar PV and electric vehicles. |

Part 3 Mechanical Design Considerations for Low-Carbon Operations This session will focus on low-carbon, all-electric mechanical designs for multifamily residential and commercial buildings. More time will be dedicated to large commercial buildings and high-rise residential and their specific challenges. We'll look at basic principals of low-carbon mechanical design and through case studies we will learn about different design options, technologies and challenges specific to different building types. Domestic hot water will also be discussed but will not be the main |

There are 82 million detached single-family homes in the US, and according to the US Energy Information Administration, there are 6.8 million in California. The average cost of energy in US households is about $2,060 per year according to Energy Star with nearly half of that money going to heating and cooling. The average home also adds 7.5 tons of greenhouse gasses each year. Steve Easley will draw upon his building science consulting experience to illustrate the most cost-effective, best |

Hybrid (Online and In-Person) Yerba Buena Room (Bay Area Metro Center) 375 Beale Street San Francisco, CA 94105 Questions about the electric grid’s capacity and reliability are coming up as local governments consider policies related to building energy use and electrification. Join us to explore these questions, starting with how the grid works. Speakers will also discuss California’s plans to ensure a reliable and affordable grid powered with renewable energy, the role of utilities, and how local governments are navigating |
