Modeling All-Electric Homes in the 2022 Energy Code

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 with examples using tri-county climate zones.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand why all-electric homes are important
  • Learn the energy code requirements for heating and cooling, water heating, cooking, and laundry
  • Understand how electric systems perform under the performance method for Title 24 compliance
  • Hear best practices for modeling all-electric homes
