Join us for this one-hour presentation to review the 2025 California Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24, Part 6 or Energy Code) requirements that support the goals of a Zero Net Carbon Design (ZNCD) project. We will review updated requirements for solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage system (BESS), domestic hot water system requirements supporting electrification, pool and spa requirements supporting heat pump technology, limits on Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) design options, and additional heat pump design requirements. We’ll also explore the new Performance Approach compliance metric “Long-term System Cost” (LSC), which converts the predicted site energy use to long-term dollar costs to California’s energy system.

Learning objectives include:

• Recognize when solar photovoltaic and battery systems are required in single-family homes
• Recognize when solar photovoltaic and battery systems are required in nonresidential buildings and multifamily buildings
• Explain how solar and battery systems improve grid harmony of buildings and onsite consumption of solar energy
• Understand how alternative design options for single-family homes and nonresidential buildings can achieve ZNCD using efficiency measures, solar, and battery systems
• Identify online resources for more guidance on these topics

This hour-long virtual course focuses requirements on the 2025 California Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Energy Code or Title 24 Part 6) for accessory dwelling units (ADU). We will discuss how to identify the ADU type and its impact on Energy Code requirements for envelope, mechanical, photovoltaics (PV), battery energy storage system or battery readiness, and ECC (formerly known as HERS) measures. We will also review how the compliance metrics differ depending on ADU type, including the new compliance metrics for New Construction ADUs.

Learning objectives include:

• Establish if an ADU design is considered an Alteration, Addition, or a new residential building per the Energy Code
• Discuss the envelope (roof, walls, floors, fenestration) requirements associated with the ADU type (Alteration, Addition, New Construction) under the 2025 Energy Code
• Recognize the renewable energy requirements of ADU type including photovoltaics (PV), battery energy storage system, and battery readiness
• Determine mechanical equipment requirements, including any ECC (formerly known as HERS) verification measure options that provide ADU design flexibility, and how the new compliance metrics may impact those choices

The 2025 Energy Code (Title 24, Part 6, the California Building Energy Efficiency Standards) introduces significant changes for nonresidential buildings. These changes include new and revised Prescriptive requirements involving single-zone and multi-zone heat pump space heating and mechanical heat recovery dependent upon building type, and all-electric commercial kitchens. These measures aim to facilitate the transition to all-electric buildings and Zero Net Carbon Design (ZNCD). Join us for an hour to learn about the new all-electric requirements, including related requirements and exemptions for solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery storage, pool and spa heating systems. Additionally, we will explore how ZNCD principles align with and are supported by all-electric solutions.

Learning objectives include:

• Discuss updates to the 2025 Energy Code that set the stage for all electric Nonresidential buildings, including Prescriptive requirements involving single-zone and multi-zone heat pump space heating and mechanical heat recovery dependent upon building type, and all-electric commercial kitchens
• Determine which pool and spa heating equipment options are supported in the 2025 Energy Code
• Recognize when solar photovoltaic and battery systems are required in Nonresidential buildings
• Given examples of alternative design options for a Nonresidential building, identify which, if any, of the options achieve ZNCD
• Identify online resources for more guidance on these topics
