Integrated Design Process & Commissioning for Non-Residential
2021-05-12 12:00 - 13:00
We’ll go through the top 10 compliance areas that frequently snag a plan review for nonresidential energy code compliance, and discuss how to get it right the first time. Whether you’re an applicant or a plan checker, you’ll want to know what to look for, how to avoid common mistakes and how to make sure you have accurate compliance forms. Discussion will include building commissioning (Cx), a process to ensure that non-residential buildings perform and operate as designed. Rather than seeing Cx as one more burden, we’ll talk about efficiently meeting the requirements and enjoying the short-term and long-term benefits.
Note: This course is 2 hours and can be offered in 2 parts or 1 longer session.
Learning Objectives
o Differentiate which building and construction components are correctly
demonstrated or modeled in compliance forms
o Prioritize work flow when time and resources are constrained
o Understand commissioning in Title 24 Energy Code and CAL Green
o Review the Cx Documents and milestone schedule

o Be able to communicate the benefits of the Cx process, including stories from the
field

Higher Performance Building on the Central Coast – All-Electric Construction
2021-04-21 12:00 - 13:00
Part 2: Heat Pump Water Heaters (HPWH) and Other Electric Appliances
Gain clarity and expertise on today’s higher performance all-electric construction. Part 2 of our two-part series will focus on heat pump water heaters and other electric appliances. Topics will include why heat pumps are quickly becoming the preferred system for heating water, how they work, design considerations, sticking points and solutions, as well as cost variables. Emphasis will be on residential, multi-family and small commercial on the Central Coast or similar climates.
Learning Objectives:
o Be able to explain the benefits of heat pump water heaters including health, cost
and code compliance.
o Understand the components and delivery options for heat pump water heaters in
your project.
o Understand how integration of other electric appliances can improve indoor air
quality and optimize the use of renewable energy for energy cost savings.
o Be able to evaluate potential construction constraints and pitfalls and provide
solutions.
