Code Breaker: Solar, Battery & Zero Net Carbon Design — 2022 Energy Code
August 4, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Solar and battery requirements have evolved in the California energy code over the past decade.
This webinar will cover 2022 code requirements for all occupancies of buildings at a high level in a short 1-hour introduction to solar and battery for Single Family, Multifamily, and Nonresidential buildings. We will use examples to illustrate how much is required, exceptions, and Zero Net Carbon design concepts and give previews of longer Energy Code Ace offerings on renewable energy.
Learning Objectives:
- 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
