This online live event summarizes the new and revised requirements in the 2025 California Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24, Part 6 or Energy Code) for single-family and multifamily buildings, and directs participants to informational resources and training that provide more in-depth information on the Energy Code. Join us to begin learning what the 2025 code means to you and your customers.
Standard clothes washers and dryers account for anywhere from 8-10% of the energy used in our homes and a significant amount of our water used. Heat pump dryers are the most efficient dryers on the market, using roughly 75% less energy than a typical electric resistance or gas dryer. Manufacturers have recently released combo washer + heat pump dryers that wash and dry a complete load of laundry in the same machine. Join us on Wednesday, July 30, for an

Event Description As California accelerates its push toward electrification, heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) are playing a critical role in driving efficient and clean water heating solutions. However, not all HPWHs are created equal—and not every brand is suited for every home. This webinar equips participants with the knowledge to make smart, scenario-specific choices when selecting HPWHs. We’ll begin with a brief overview of why HPWH deployment is a state priority, then explore the key factors that differentiate products—such as
This course will review residential HVAC design basics and equipment selection, as well as explain how to process, check, and verify residential load calculations and duct designs that are required by the Mechanical Code and the Energy Code (e.g., ACCA Manual J and Manual D).
House Characterization (HC) was developed to reduce efforts and maximize efficiency in Customers are the heart of our business—without them, we simply wouldn’t be here. That’s why mastering exceptional customer service isn’t optional—it’s essential. Too often, it’s the small oversights that leave a big, negative impression. In this impactful session, we’ll focus on the little things that actually matter most. Learn how to elevate every interaction, strengthen relationships, and create the kind of customer experiences that keep people coming back. Learning Objectives:
Description: Building electrification replaces fossil fuel systems with electric alternatives. As California shifts to all-electric homes, understanding home performance is essential. Key factors like energy efficiency, air-sealing, and insulation reduce energy use, improve air quality, and increase comfort. High performance homes use less energy, making electrification smoother and more sustainable. This class is the sixth in a series on Electrification & Home Performance and covers the effect building pressure differences can have on the cost of heating and cooling. Enhance
This four-part webinar starts with the fundamentals and theory behind residential and light commercial HVAC system performance with an overview as applied to the California market. This module introduces and details the “whole-house” concept, outlines the instruments and field techniques required to measure HVAC system performance, and problem-solves any issues discovered. Participants will learn the broad skill sets required to understand and evaluate the whole HVAC system and provide the client with an HVAC system that will be safe and

From alignment with California’s decarbonization goals and local ordinances prohibiting new gas installs, Dan Perunko of Balance Point Home Performance will outline the necessary steps to electrify an existing single-family home and how to manage whole house strategies for successful electrification retrofits. Case studies demonstrating successful electrification projects will highlight the opportunities to overcome challenges presented by existing infrastructure and planning for backup power during Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events.
With the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, many of the most impactful federal tax credits for electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, like 30D, 30C, and 45W, are now set to phase out on an accelerated timeline. What does this mean for fleets, cities, and others working to accelerate transportation electrification? Join us for a timely webinar to: - Understand what’s changing: We’ll break down the latest guidance on the EV and charging tax credits being phased out,
Event Description This course focuses on Title 24, Part 11, the California Green Building Standards, incorporating the 2025 code changes that take effect January 1, 2026. We’ll review background of the code, the logistics of implementation and the specific requirements for residential and non-residential construction. Learning Objectives Understand CAL Green compliance process for residential and nonresidential projects, highlighting changes in the 2025 code. Become familiar with CAL Green mandatory measures and green building benefits of each Understand Tier 1 and
