This is a virtual event.  Registrants will receive Zoom Log-in information 24 hours prior to the event.

The Codes and Standards Enhancement (CASE) Initiative provides recommendations to support the California Energy Commission’s (Energy Commission) efforts to update the California Energy Code (Title 24, Part 6) to include new requirements or to upgrade existing requirements for various technologies. The Statewide CASE Team is interested in sharing our recent single family and multifamily work with CABEC and AIA members and soliciting feedback. This presentation will cover the following topics:

+ Proposed single family and multifamily packages and software enhancements

+ Available resources

+ Opportunities to engage with and provide feedback to the Statewide CASE Team and Energy Commission

+ Outlook on the remainder of the code cycle in 2021

Learning Objectives:

+ What are the single family and multifamily packages and software enhancements proposed by the Statewide CASE Team?

+ What resources are available to CABEC and AIA members to learn more about measure packages and software enhancements?

+ How can CABEC and AIA members get more engaged with the Statewide CASE Team and code development and provide feedback?

+ What should CABEC and AIA members be aware of in the next 6 – 12 months?
