SUMMARY:Practical Guide to All-Electric Residential Buildings (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Building All-Electric homes is becoming increasingly stronger than ever. These homes are not only cheaper to construct and operate\, but they also offer healthier and more comfortable living environments. Additionally\, they produce roughly half the greenhouse gas emissions compared to mixed fuel homes. The 2025 California energy code is set to accelerate the adoption of All-Electric buildings\, making compliance with energy regulations easier. This class\, led by two experienced instructors who have personally built All-Electric homes\, provides an insider’s perspective on designing and constructing electric homes. The instructors will share examples from their professional work\, address common objections and obstacles\, and offer valuable lessons learned from the field. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the technologies that make All-Electric homes possible\, including Heat Pumps\, Heat Pump Water Heaters\, Induction Cooking\, Heat Pump Clothes Dryers. Join us to explore why All-Electric homes are the future of sustainable living and how they facilitate easier energy code compliance.

SUMMARY:Higher-Performance Residential Remodels
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nWorking through specific examples\, we’ll help project teams identify strategies that have the highest impact for improving energy efficiency\, comfort and indoor healthy environments in renovations and additions. Beginning with a focus on client needs and incorporating occupant goals\, a high-performance remodel may be phased or done all at once\, may focus on efficient equipment and appliances or more on indoor comfort\, and may be very visible or mostly behind-the-scenes. Come learn the art and science of higher-performance remodels! \nLearning Units \n1 AIA LU pending for this course \nInstructors  \nAndy Pease\, In Balance Green Consulting \nJennifer Rennick\, In Balance Green Consulting \nCourse Location \nZoom link provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:Ask the Experts: Heat Pump Water Heater & Solar Permitting
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nJoin us for an office-hours style open discussion focused on permitting requirements for heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) and solar installations. This interactive session provides direct access to an industry expert who can help clarify general permitting processes\, answer project-specific questions\, and address common challenges encountered by contractors\, designers\, installers\, and building professionals. Bring your questions and participate in an open dialogue designed to support successful project planning\, compliance\, and implementation. \nThe session will be led by Reuben Veek\, Founder and Executive Director of SunWork. Reuben has been installing grid-tied residential solar energy systems since 2006 and has overseen the construction of more than 250 systems throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and Central Coast. In addition to solar\, SunWork operates a HPWH installation program that uses a unique volunteer-supported model to make electrification projects more affordable while providing hands-on education for people interested in clean energy careers. With extensive experience in both solar and HPWH installations\, and experience working with 3C-REN’s Home Energy Savings program to install HPWH\, Reuben brings practical insights and real-world expertise to help participants better understand permitting requirements\, common challenges\, and best practices for successful project implementation. \nLearning Units \n1 AIA LU pending for this course \nInstructors  \nReuben Veek\, SunWork \nCourse Location \nZoom link provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:Electrify Efficiently: Home Heat Pumps Done Right - A Case Study (Part 4 of 5)
DESCRIPTION:The path to going all-electric can take many forms. For some\, this means upgrading one appliance at a time; for others\, it means replacing them all at once and offsetting with on-site solar. Regardless of the timeline\, there are some important planning steps that must take place\, as well as a continual vision for optimizing efficiency. Join Electrify My Home in this session for a case study of a customer’s electrification journey. You’ll also hear directly from the customer\, who will share why they went gas-free\, why they chose to pursue efficiency measures\, and what bumps in the road were faced on this adventure. \nAgenda: \n\nIntroduction and safety message\nOverview of the Electrify My Home “Electrify Efficiently” webinar series\nThe electrification path/journey\nThings every customer (and contractor) should consider along the way\nElectrify My Home customer interview\nClass survey\, closing and wrap up
