California 2022 Energy Code with CALGreen 2024 Updates

Continuous education related to energy code, carbon neutrality, and building standards

What you’ll learn
Learn about the new major code changes that impact designed projects starting January 1, 2023. Discuss major systems and how they impact building functions.
How to communicate energy code changes with your clients/stakeholders, and how to begin programming for new code changes.
Capture the mid code cycle updates for CALGreen building code, which impacts electric vehicle charging and Lifecycle Cost Assessments (LCA – embodied carbon)
Receive building science explanation related to heat exchangers, air source and CO2 heat pump water heaters and more.

Requirements
Basic design and building construction knowledge.

Description
Learn about new changes to California’s Energy Code, where the State is headed with regards to carbon neutrality, and how energy code changes are impacting coordination. Review July 2024 updates for CALGreen building code.Receive continuing education credits as you:Improve your technical understanding related to developing a carbon neutral building.Better communicate critical changes to your stakeholders and receive an overview of California’s long term clean energy objectives.Understand how systems interact when performing energy modeling.Receive building science explanation related to heat exchangers, air source and CO2 heat pump water heaters and more.Learning Objectives:Learn about the new code changes that impact new construction projects starting January 1, 2023 and what are California’s long term plans regarding carbon neutrality. New prescriptive requirements will be added to the Code – Solar PV, battery backup, energy/heat recovery ventilators, and heat pump water heaters to name a few. We anticipate first costs to increase as will return on investment.Capture the mid code cycle updates for CALGreen building code, which impacts electric vehicle charging and Lifecycle Cost Assessments (LCA for embodied carbon.Review the all-electric pathway and how the Code will consider a building as “Electric ready”. Discuss how buildings can remove gas infrastructure and take advantage of electrification with renewable energy to deliver return on investment.How to communicate energy code changes with your clients/stakeholders, and how to begin programming for new code changes.

Who this course is for
Those in the building industry seeking to learn about California’s energy code update.
