With the 2022 Energy Code going into effect January 1, 2023, California is moving closer to meeting goals for carbon reduction, grid harmonization and energy efficiency. Electrification, photovoltaics, and ever-increasing building efficiency measures are all tools utilized to help single-family construction achieve these goals. During this session, we will review the electrification measures of the Energy Code and explore appliance choices, such as space heating, water heating, cooktops and clothes dryers, that can meet those measures taking into consideration installation criteria, cost, and fuel source; explore when the photovoltaics (PV) minimum requirements apply and how PV sizing should take into consideration these additional electric appliances and other electric loads of the home; discuss how battery storage allows the homeowner to store electric production from the PV system to utilize during peak use conditions and the Energy Code requirements when battery storage is not installed at time of construction. There is a lot of great information out there supporting electrification, and we take a look at some of Energy Code Ace’s favorites.

This session will focus on methods and processes for assessing the whole building life cycle of buildings. Attendees will learn the core concepts of conducting a whole building life cycle assessment and build an awareness of the different tools, data, and resources that can be used throughout the design process.Earn 1 LU|HSW and 1hr ZNCD MCE for attending live, or 1.25hrs ZNCD MCE for watching on-demand Additional Resources Additional Resources Combined Presentation

Unlike operational energy, embodied carbon can’t be reduced over time as these emissions are released into the atmosphere before a building is constructed. Therefore, embodied carbon must be addressed before building and tenant space fit-out construction begins when the materials are selected or purchased. This session will explore some of the key strategies to reduce embodied carbon in construction projects, discuss General Contractors’ role in addressing embodied carbon and consider how embodied carbon affects project work and collaboration across project team members.Earn 1 LU|HSW and 1hr ZNCD MCE for attending live.https://youtu.be/Dc5auY4M3Vc Additional Resources Additional Resources Combined Presentation_EC in Construction and Contractor’s Role
