Register Event Description Wildfires are reshaping how Californians think about housing safety and resilience. In 2025, two legal documents related to fire risk and real estate were updated, DRE’s required Transfer Disclosure Statement requirements and CA’s T24 building code. Agents and appraisers will gain comprehension about fire resistant features and risk reduction strategies. We’re seeing […]
Register Event Description With increasing fire intensity throughout the state and more areas designated with high fire severity zones, our region is naturally interested in building construction that decreases fire risk. Fortunately, there is an overlap of strategies that reduce fire risk while also improving energy performance and indoor occupant health. This course walks through […]
Register Event Description Insulation and air sealing are critical aspects of construction, contributing to improved energy performance, reduced operating costs, greater indoor air quality and resiliency during a wildfire emergency. Insulation and air sealing can also contribute to increased construction costs and challenges for building sign-off if not managed effectively. In this course, we’ll hear […]
Register Event Description Overview of a new one-page guide for homeowners. With the premise that most home improvement projects have the potential to improve or harm performance, it’s helpful to be informed of basic building science principles. The class will spotlight the benefits many homeowners look to achieve, a recommended order of steps to take, […]
Register Event Description The 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 […]
Register Event Description Sorting through tables and reading the fine print in the energy code may get you the specific language of the code, but what does that really mean in practice? In this series, we’ll walk through key components for each building occupancy type, providing sample details, photos of installations and potential pitfalls to […]
Register Event Description As we move to reduce carbon emissions from our buildings and align with California carbon-reduction goals, we often overlook the impacts, and opportunities, in mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems beyond upfront energy efficiency. Emerging data, however, is giving us a fuller picture of how MEP design, system specifications and refrigerants contribute […]
