The 2026 code cycle places increased emphasis on energy efficiency, electrification, system performance, and documentation quality. For HCAI projects, these changes influence not only system design, but also coordination, regulatory review, and long-term operational outcomes. Hospitals that understand these requirements early are better positioned to reduce energy use, control operating costs, and improve system reliability while maintaining full compliance. For projects involving seismic upgrades, infrastructure improvements, or Non-Structural Performance Category (NPC) compliance, the transition introduces both risk and opportunity. Proactively

Washers and dryers account for anywhere from 8-10% of the energy use in our homes and a significant amount of our water use. Heat pump dryers are rated ENERGY STAR’s most efficient dryers on the market, using roughly 75% less energy than a typical electric resistance or gas dryer. They use heat pump technology to move heat rather than create it, and have many benefits. Manufacturers from GE to Samsung to LG offer combo washer + heat pump dryers that

Buildings tend to be the primary energy consumer in the U.S.—and amid rising utility prices and concerns about the impacts of climate change, efforts are being made to incorporate energy saving strategies into commercial building design, construction, and operation. The concept of a Net Zero Energy building, which produces as much energy as it uses annually, is a reality in most regions. These buildings often come with added benefits that include improved comfort and resilience. In this online event, our

This 4 day intermediate webinar covers HVAC fundamentals for residential and light commercial systems in California. Topics include thermodynamics, system performance, load considerations, airflow, pressure control, heating and cooling systems, and quality maintenance. It also explores psychrometrics, the Equal Friction method, and field measurements for system efficiency. This series qualifies for 8 CEHs through North American Technician Excellence (NATE) with the completion of all 8 parts. 3/23/2026, 6:00-8:15pm Part 1: Fundamentals of building science and how buildings interact thermally with
