SUMMARY:The Power to Save: Choosing\, Installing\, and Optimizing a Home Energy Monitoring System
DESCRIPTION:This engaging intermediate webinar provides homeowners\, contractors\, and home performance technicians with the insight and confidence to understand\, monitor\, and optimize household energy consumption. Designed for anyone eager to cut costs\, boost efficiency\, and make smarter energy decisions\, the webinar blends practical instruction with real world techniques that may translate into savings and sustainability. \nExplore how to uncover hidden energy waste and reduce monthly utility bills by identifying inefficient appliances\, phantom loads\, and behavioral patterns that quietly drive-up costs. Through hands on guidance\, you learn how to select\, install\, and operate a Home Energy Monitoring System (HEMS)\, giving you a clear window into your home’s real time and historical energy use. With this knowledge\, you can make informed choices about upgrades\, maintenance\, and daily habits that meaningfully improve efficiency. \nBy the end\, you’ll not only understand how your energy choices affect your wallet\, you’ll also see how they impact the environment. The program empowers you to reduce your carbon footprint and create a more efficient\, resilient\, and sustainable home.

SUMMARY:2025 Title 24\, Part 6 Essentials — Single-family Compliance: EnergyPro Introduction
DESCRIPTION:People new to EnergyPro software will learn the basics of using this modeling software to document compliance with California’s 2025 Single-family Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24\, Part 6 or the Energy Code). \nThroughout the class\, you will see how to use the software to complete essential tasks\, then use sample files to practice performing these tasks yourself. \nIf you do not already have a current version of EnergyPro\, we make an educational version of the software available at no charge. (A link to the trial educational version is provided with pre-registration confirmation.) This course is delivered in a single three-hour session.

SUMMARY:The Practical Guide to All-Electric Residential Buildings (Part 1): Why All-Electric\, Solar\, Cooking
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nThe case for building all-electric is stronger than ever. All-electric homes are cheaper to build and operate\, healthier and more comfortable to live in\, and have GHG emissions roughly half that of mixed-fuel homes. The 2025 California Energy Code makes heat pumps standard statewide\, which will accelerate adoption of all-electric buildings. This 2-part class will show why electric homes facilitate easier energy code compliance. Taught by two instructors who have built all-electric homes for themselves\, and will broadcast live from in front of their heat pump water heaters and induction stoves\, you’ll get an insider view of how to design and build electric homes\, including examples from their professional work\, how to overcome common objections and obstacles\, and lessons learned from the field. Attendees will gain a better understanding of the technologies that enable all-electric homes\, including heat pump heating and cooling\, heat pump water heaters\, induction cooking\, and heat pump clothes dryers. \nLearning Objectives \n\nWhy All-Electric homes are superior to typical mixed fuel homes in terms of cost\, health\, emissions\, and quality of life\nKey products and systems used in all-electric homes (heat pumps for space conditioning\, heat pump water heaters\, induction cooktops\, and electric clothes dryers)\nHow to model all-electric systems for Title 24 compliance\nCost-effectiveness of all-electric designs compared to traditional designs\nSingle-family and multifamily examples plus remodels and ADUs\nQuality of life reasons to consider all-electric designs\n\nLearning Units \n\n1.50 AIA LUs approved for this course\n0.15 ICC CEUs approved for this course

SUMMARY:Controls for Industrial Decarbonization
DESCRIPTION:This course examines how advanced control strategies and Industry 4.0 technologies enable industrial decarbonization. Participants will explore how energy efficiency\, electrification\, load flexibility\, and demand response can be integrated through modern control systems to reduce emissions while maintaining operational performance. The course highlights practical approaches for implementing control driven solutions in industrial facilities\, along with key challenges related to electrical infrastructure and system integration.
