Heat Pumps are quickly gaining traction as a preferred HVAC and water heating technology. California has a goal for 6 million installed heat pumps by 2030, and state plans indicate that new gas furnace and water heaters will not be permitted after 2030. While the path forward for heat pumps seems clear, the technology is still foreign to most homeowners. To meet the above-mentioned goals, contractors and other industry professionals must arm themselves with the knowledge (and sometimes the data)

For as long as we’ve built homes we’ve been using some kind of combustion to heat them. As a result, our buildings are designed and constructed to safely manage the operation of gas appliances. In this webinar, Dan Perunko of Balance Point Home Performance will look at mechanical rooms as we transition from gas appliances to electric appliances. There is an opportunity for contractors and designers to offer their clients additional efficiencies beyond those offered by the change to electric

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
