2022 Energy Code Preview for Multifamily Projects
The 2022 Energy Code is effective January 1, 2023. This course will provide an overview of the changes from the 2019 Energy Code for the new multifamily section.
2022 Energy Code Preview — What’s next?
The energy code can be complicated and confusing. This course will provide a concise explanation of why the energy code was created and why it’s relevant today. We will also explore where the energy code is going. This course will help to breakdown the energy code into digestible pieces and demystify confusing sections.
Heat Pump Water Heaters and the Energy Code
We’ll walk through the basics of heat pump water heaters (HPWH) for homes and provide critical compliance information for the California Energy Code 2019 Residential Standards. We’ll cover why we are seeing HPWHs in the code now, how they are different from other types of water heaters, highlight the benefits and some potential constraints, and review how designers, builders, installers, and code officials would document a HPWH for Energy Code compliance, with specific focus on single family homes or where one HPWH serves one dwelling.
Top 10 Best Practices for Residential Compliance
We will go through the top 10 compliance areas that frequently snag a plan review or field inspection for residential energy code compliance under the 2019 Energy Code and discuss how to get it right the first time. This course is beneficial for developing a project, verifying a project as developer/builder, plan checker, or field inspector to ensure a complying and well-built building.
Electrification and the 2019 Energy Code
As the Energy Code continues to encourage all electric construction, builders and jurisdictions alike must pivot to understanding all electric design and how buildings are impacted by code. Join us in this electrification 101 course to learn about strategies to build all electric and how to comply with and enforce code.
Heat Pump Water Heaters for Energy Code (Public Sector)
As heat pump water heaters become more popular in residential applications, building departments need to be able to identify HPWHs on compliance documentation and in field, as well as understand how to enforce compliance with the California Energy Code 2019 Residential Standards.. This course will describe how to identify HPWHs and what the code requirements are for installation, with a specific focus on single family homes or where one HPWH serves one dwelling.
