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.
Heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) are an increasingly popular technology that are a highly efficient means of providing hot water to houses. This training will describe HPWHs, code requirements for HPWHs, resources for permitting and compliance, and best practices for enforcement. Topics Covered: Overview of water heater technologies and trends, identifying HPWHs in the field, Energy Code requirements for HPWH installations and replacements, Energy Code compliance forms, and requirements specific to HPWHs.
On the average Californians consume less water than the residents of other states. Even so there is a need for us to conserve even more water. The construction community has an opportunity to further reduce residential water use in ways that do not feel like conservation to our customers. In this class, Dan Perunko of Balance Point Home Performance looks at changing the way hot water is stored and delivered to the tap in residential buildings. The theory behind our
All-Electric Homes are having their moment, with state policies, incentives, and energy code providing builders, homeowners, and energy consultants a strong nudge toward all-electric designs. We will go over how to model all-electric homes (single family and multifamily) for maximum compliance benefit, including the Variable Capacity Heat Pump (VCHP) compliance credit and Heat Pump Water Heaters. We’ll also cover PV sizing and how that may differ for all-electric homes and mixed-fuel homes. Retrofits and new construction will also be covered
California is going through one of its most seismic shifts in building energy policy and design. The move towards full decarbonization of the building stock has started and the policy, technical and financial implications are being developed under our feet. We will share how heat pumps and other forms of electric heating can displace our long time carbon sources of heat. These systems are already available and many are cost effective today. Come discuss this shift and how it will
More and more buildings are being constructed with high-performance building envelopes. For these buildings, a well-designed and installed ventilation system is a must. Dan Perunko of Balance Point Home Performance delves into why ventilation and filtration are so important. We will look at indoor and outdoor air quality and discuss the effectiveness of ventilation and filtration at managing various pollutants. In addition to the large body of evidence we already had supporting the need for ventilation and filtration in residential

Join the PG&E Single Point of Contact (SPOC) service for a roundtable webinar on multifamily incentive programs for existing multifamily properties. You’ll learn about energy efficiency, renewable energy, and financing options that can be combined to maximize funding for property upgrades and retrofits. Programs featured operate in PG&E service territory, including: - Low Income Weatherization Program (LIWP) - Solar on Multifamily Affordable Housing (SOMAH) - ESA Multifamily Energy Savings - California Energy-Smart Homes Program - Bay Area Multifamily Building Enhancements

Event Description We will go through the residential Title 24 energy code compliance forms, highlighting those areas that frequently snag a plan review under the 2022 Energy Code. We’ll discuss what goes into the forms, how to identify errors and inconsistencies and how to get it right the first time. This course is beneficial for architects, engineers and other design professionals, builders, owners and developers, plans examiners, and others who are interested in efficiency and accuracy in energy code compliance.
Join us this November for an exclusive EFCA webinar designed by contractors for contractors! This session goes beyond theory—we're diving into real-world strategies to help you electrify homes efficiently and solve challenges on the job site. Learn how to implement electrification without the need for costly service panel upgrades. Speakers: Larry Waters: “42 years in the HVAC trade, I finally know what I want to do with my life.” Ten years of Industrial and Commercial systems, including chillers, boilers, large
