Code Breaker: Talking with Clients about Electrification — 2022 Energy Code

Code Breaker: Talking with Clients about Electrification — 2022 Energy Code

This is a free zoom presentation > information to access the zoom will be emailed to registrants 24 hours before the event.   If you don’t receive an email please reach out to marc@aialosangeles.org!

If you have been asked questions about electrification requirements in California and need support finding answers, then this presentation is for you. We will provide attendees with essential data to foster a deeper understanding of electric technologies, including Energy Code requirements; how electrification can promote health, safety, and comfort; how California utilities are preparing to meet increased loads from electrification; and which design features support the reliability and affordability of an all-electric home.

Moderator

Dave Intner (he/him), AIA, LEED AP, CEM

Architect and Decarbonization Specialist, Southern California Edison

Dave Intner, a career long sustainability advocate with 28 years of professional experience split between architectural practice and utility program delivery, has been a LEED Accredited Professional for over two decades. Upon joining Southern California Edison (SCE) in 2010, Dave spent nine years providing design assistance to numerous Net-Zero and COTE-award winning projects through the statewide Savings by Design new construction incentive program, reviewing project energy simulations and recommending measures to improve performance and to help projects meet their Energy Use Intensity (EUI) goals. In his current role within the Codes and Standards department, Dave supports SCE’s broad electrification efforts, aiming to decarbonize the electric grid and convert building and transportation end uses from fossil fuels to electric technologies running on renewable energy. His work includes resource and training development, case study research, reach code support for jurisdictions, and design tools for the building industry.

Summarize key facts regarding heat pump technology — as well as other electric technologies — specific to their performance, affordability, and impact on California electric grid.

Compare the Energy Code requirements for electric and gas appliances.

Describe the differences between all-electric designs and mixed-fuel projects in terms Energy Code compliance and likely impact on construction and operation costs.

Identify sources of information and how to access them for guidance on incentive programs, tax credits, and rebates supporting the deployment of heat pumps, electric equipment upgrades, and energy efficient appliances.
