SUMMARY:Building Electric-Efficient Tiny Homes: Smarter\, Smaller\, Sustainable
DESCRIPTION:Be a part of this webinar on Wednesday\, September 10\, and explore how to build all-electric\, energy-efficient tiny homes that meet modern performance standards while working within common limitations\, that include working with 50-amp panels and very compact footprints. As energy codes tighten and demand for sustainable housing grows\, builders\, contractors\, and DIYers are rethinking how small homes are designed and powered. Through case studies and hands-on experience\, we’ll discuss how to select the right heating and water heating systems\, navigate code requirements\, and integrate solar and net metering at both individual and community levels. Attendees will learn how to reduce embodied carbon through smart design choices and how insulation\, window placement\, and appliance selection impact overall energy efficiency. We’ll also introduce a hybrid approach to construction: building the core structure with key systems in place\, then finishing out electric appliances and upgrades through DIY or phased-in solutions. This makes tiny homes more attainable and flexible for a wide range of budgets. Join us to learn how electrification\, renewables\, and smart design come together in today’s tiny homes. You will also hear insights from experienced professionals on how to work around common electrical limitations\, access incentives\, and push beyond standard propane-based systems toward 100% renewable living. Whether you’re a professional contractor or a hands-on DIY builder\, this session will give you practical strategies for creating low-impact\, high-performance homes that align with evolving codes and sustainability goals.

SUMMARY:Home Energy Audits
DESCRIPTION:If you’re interested in energy efficiency or thinking about going electric\, a home energy audit is a smart and inexpensive way to start your journey. Before you take the leap and replace a major system like your HVAC\, it can be incredibly helpful to have the full picture of your home’s energy use\, comfort\, and safety. Through a series of inspections and diagnostic tests\, you’ll learn whether your home needs insulation\, weathersealing or duct maintenance\, which appliances are most in need of replacement and any problem areas and fixes you should prioritize to save energy and improve the comfort of your home. A typical audit focuses on your home’s envelope\, your HVAC systems\, and your major appliances. At the end of the evaluation\, your energy auditor can tell you how efficient your home is and recommend which projects will be the best investments for energy savings and increased comfort. It also results in holistic recommendations that are specific to your home\, and take your home’s entire ecosystem into account. Join us on September 11 as we take a look at home energy audits and discuss: Why get a home energy audit? What does an energy audit include\, and how long does it take? Are there different types of audits\, and how does one choose? What you’ll get from a home energy audit How to find a certified energy auditor near you How much does a home energy audit cost? Join us to learn how an energy audit can best prepare you to lower your energy bills\, phase out fossil fuels\, cut your home’s carbon emissions\, improve your home’s indoor air quality\, and make your home more comfortable year-round. This webinar is part of the Electrify Now “Go Electric!” series developed in partnership with San Diego LEARN.
