Starting January 1, 2010 the new 2008 Title-24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards became law in California and is roughly 15-22% more restrictive than the 2005 Title-24 energy code it replaced.
In addition, most utility incentives and many cities in California now require that you exceed the new 2008 Title-24 energy code by 15-35%! The big questions from architects, builders, and developers are these: How can this possibly be done? Is this a realistic, cost effective goal?
Our answer is simply this: Yes it can be done! And cost-effectively. This advanced Title-24 training class will examine new Title-24 compliance strategies and options which can take your project beyond the minimum Title-24 code requirements by 15%, 35% and more.
The course will provide a detailed understanding of all available Title-24 compliance strategies including HERS compliance measures, (duct testing, QII, refrigerant charge verification, etc) and how they can leverage your project into compliance with utility sponsored incentive programs, the New Solar Home Partnership (NSHP), LEED, and ensure quality control on the job site.
Architects who attend will receive (3) AIA CEU learning units (HSW & SD)
Class was formerly called "Fundamentals of Commercial Title-24.

1. Appliance standards and market transformation policies like labeling play a key role in reducing energy use and achieving energy savings.
2. Standards introduced from 2009-2010 for appliances like refrigerators are expected to save consumers $43 billion over 30 years. Additional savings could come from negotiated industry agreements.
3. The Alliance to Save Energy promotes energy efficiency worldwide through advocacy and education on policies like appliance standards and labeling.
Developing sound energy policies is difficult under the best circumstances. There is a delicate balance between government's need for revenue, modern society's need for energy and the producer's need for profitability to exploit resources. Many factors can affect the results for all interested parties. Good policies require an appreciation for the interactions among oilfield development and operations, costs and prices, government taxes and regulations and many other factors that are often difficult to define accurately. We live in a complex world that acts like a system with many interconnected components. Humans are ill equipped to understand its behavior. We instinctively focus on short term, local issues and simple cause and effect rather than the bigger picture. This reduces the likelihood that we can design effective policies that will work well over the long term for all stakeholders. There are no easy solutions in complex systems. We developed an approach using system models and regret analysis to find flexible and resilient tax policies, in spite of uncertainties, that would provide all parties with fair, profitable solutions – even though none might achieve their maximum goals. It can also measure the relative benefits of existing energy policies and, potentially, help to improve them. These challenges will only become harder in the future and more important for the energy industry. Now is the time to pursue new ways of thinking to solve these problems.
Webinar: The business case for CCS in the power industry: a case study of the...Global CCS Institute
Developing the CCS power industry sustainably requires projects to deliver a suitable return on investment, in order to accommodate the risks inherent in the technology. But, the cost of CCS facilities is not yet covered by electricity sales revenue at current wholesale power prices anywhere in the world, nor is it covered by the ability to earn income from avoiding or reducing CO2 emissions. Building a business case for CCS power is therefore a major challenge.
The Global CCS Institute webinar that was held on Monday 22nd July was presented by 2Co Energy, sharing the real-life CCS business case for its CCS project in the UK, the Don Valley Power Project (DVPP). By sharing this information, 2Co Energy, which is known for its belief in the contribution CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) can make to enhancing the economics of CCS, will present practical information that can be of use to other CCS practitioners as they develop their own business cases for CCS around the world.
The webinar covered the following topics:
A brief overview of 2Co and its CCS project in the UK, DVPP
A brief summary of existing business case studies made by other Members of the Institute, highlighting what was considered most important by them
The market and regulatory context for CCS faced by DVPP and other projects in the UK
The financing challenge that 2Co faces and the resulting financing strategy
The resulting business plan, including revenue and cost profiles, sensitivities and prospects for future cost reduction
Key risks to the project and mitigation plans.
The webinar will be of interest to CCS business developers, commercial professionals, policy makers, and regulators with an interest in enabling a CCS power industry.

Howard Blackson - Placemakers, LLC
In the 20th century, we have spent a lot of money and resources to build cultural wastelands that adversely affects our quality-of-life. With the demise of redevelopment in California, in conjunction with the demonization of Smart Growth, the future relevancy of these places rests upon our ability repurpose these miles and miles of regrettable and devalued strip centers, office parks, and housing tracks. Unfortunately, most citizens oppose any new development due to its potential conflict with their existing community character. Applying an urban design technique that purposely codes for a specific community character, this presentation will outline 21st century urban design tools to build towards walkable, mixed-use neighborhood centers.

Kaid Benfield, Dir. Sustainable Communities - NRDC
Kaid will discuss the opportunities and advantages of creating a sustainable energy future.We once thought of cities as the antithesis of sustainability - but we now know that cities can be the solution to, not the cause of, our environmental threats. To take advantage of the opportunities before us in an increasingly urban society, we must be thoughtful, shaping our metropolitan regions to reduce our environmental footprint while creating beautiful, green, inclusive neighborhoods within them. As people concerned about the health and future of the planet, we must approach this task with energy and humility, paying every bit as much attention to nurturing great people habit as we do to conserving the habitats of other species.
This document summarizes the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District's (SJVAPCD) Drive Clean! Rebate Program. The program provides rebates of $1,000-$3,000 for purchasing or leasing new low-emission vehicles to encourage reducing emissions. It was created by revising an earlier incentive program to streamline the application process based on collaboration with state agencies. The goals are to increase the use of electric vehicles and funding for associated charging infrastructure valleywide.
This document discusses electric vehicles from the perspective of a utility and some of the impacts and opportunities that electric vehicles present. It notes that widespread electric vehicle adoption could nearly double the electrical demand of the average home. However, utilities can mitigate increased loads through infrastructure upgrades and smart grid technologies that allow for optimized and flexible charging. The utility discussed has received a smart grid grant and deployed smart meters, and is considering time-of-use rates and smart charging integration to help manage electric vehicle loads.
The document announces a workshop on electric vehicles (EVs) to take place on July 21 in Modesto. The workshop will include presentations on the basics of EVs, local and state incentives for purchasing EVs, how EVs impact the electric grid and utility bills, and a panel of local EV drivers sharing their experiences. Speakers will come from the California Center for Sustainable Energy, the Mayor of Ceres, the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, and Modesto Irrigation District. The goal is to educate attendees on the benefits and opportunities of electric vehicles.
Michelle Kaufmann will talk about a quest for simplicity as a core component to a mission of making thoughtful, sustainable design accessible.
She will talk about her work in prefabrication, design-build, green homes and sustainable communities. Rethinking not only what we make and how we make it, but also redesigning the design process itself is key to the future of architecture and sustainability. Innovations in this category are abundant and exciting, and with strategic focus can help us all to have more quality, less clutter and simpler lives.
The document discusses methods for harvesting rainwater and reusing greywater for landscape irrigation in order to conserve potable water supplies.

Storm windows, insulating shades, sash replacements, awnings - The good news is that we have so many ways to improve the performance of our windows. The bad news is...there are so many ways to improve the performance of our windows! How in the world can we objectively compare them on price, thermal performance, ease of installation, ease of use, solar control, privacy, and durability?
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories and BuildingGreen are working on simple and easy-to-use resources for selecting window retrofit options. With input on climate, existing window attributes, and performance priorities, anyone can cut through the difficulties of deciding how to improve the overall performance of existing windows.
Using resources from www.windowattachments.org, webinar participants will work through window attachment selection scenarios with the instructor and learn how to use these resources with their clients and on their own projects.
The new 2008 Title-24 Building Efficiency Standards became effective January 1, 2010. One of the most sweeping changes involve residential indoor and outdoor lighting requirements, particularly kitchen lighting and the new adoption of ASHRAE 62.2 indoor air quality code.
Kitchen Lighting, Title-24
New restrictions, control requirements, high efficacy fixture requirements and incandescent allowances, and interior lighting worksheets will add an additional layer of complexity to residential lighting design. This class will bring you up to speed on the new changes and address the underlying principles, calculation methods, strategies to assist you in complying with the new code changes and take you step by step thru the new CF-6R-LTG-1 lighting certificate of installation which must be filled out before the final certificate of occupancy will be issued.
Kitchen Lighting, Title-24
You will also understand which fixtures will comply as high efficacy (not all LED fixtures are certified as high efficacy), the lighting control requirements for each room type and the new fixture and control requirements for residential outdoor lighting.
Title-24, Title-24
California has now adopted the requirements of ASHRAE 62.2-2007 which means that starting January 1, 2010, all low-rise residential buildings are required to install whole house mechanical ventilation and satisfy other requirements to achieve acceptable indoor air quality. Openable windows will no longer be an acceptable method for satisfying outdoor air requirements. This will involve calculations for determining the minimum ventilation cfm and designing a system to provide the necessary airflow with proper controls. You will learn the proper method for determining ventilation airflow, strategies for designing a cost effective ventilation system, and how to fill out the new ventilation Certificate of Installation.
