SUMMARY:Renewable Energy\, Energy Storage and Resiliency
DESCRIPTION:Register \nEvent Description \nAs energy codes and interest in electrification come together\, the winning combination of renewable energy and energy storage work together to reduce pollution\, improve affordability and\, importantly\, support resiliency in emergencies that may lead to power outages. We’ll review the background and drivers of distributed energy generation and storage and review different approaches to meet a project team’s goals. \nEvent Learning Objectives \n\nUnderstand the drivers for increasing distributed PV’s and battery storage for individual projects and neighborhoods\nDifferentiate between terms including distributed energy storage\, ‘microgrids’\, islanding\, grid-tied\, demand response and behind-the-meter / in-front-of-the-meter\nReview key design features of batteries to inform system selection and sizing\nUnderstand factors impacting upfront and long-term system costs\, including time of use and options for managing renewable energy and battery use.\n\nLearning Units \n\n1.0 AIA LUs approved for this course\n1.0 ZNCD CEUs approved for this course\n\nInstructors \n Andy Pease\, In Balance Green Consulting \nJennifer Rennick\, In Balance Green Consulting \nCourse Location \n Zoom link provided upon registration

SUMMARY:Commercial and Residential Incentives Relaunch Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Register \nEvent Description \n3C-REN residential and commercial incentives are back! Register to learn about program changes for 2026 and how 3C-REN incentives can support upgrades like heat pump HVAC systems\, heat pump water heaters\, insulation\, refrigeration\, and more—for projects in San Luis Obispo\, Santa Barbara\, and Ventura counties. \nWe’ll kick off the webinar at 7:30am with a review of the Commercial program for small to medium businesses and at 8:00am we’ll switch over to the Single-Family program for residential homes. Stay for the full hour to learn about both programs or join the segment that best fits your interest. \n\n7:30 – 8:00 am Commercial Incentive Program Review\n8:00 – 8:30 am Single Family Residential Incentive Program Review\n\nInstructors \nReid Leiter\, Recurve \nCourse Location \nZoom link provided upon registration

SUMMARY:Navigating the Energy Code
DESCRIPTION:Register \nEvent Description  \nIf you’re new to the energy code (Title 24 Part 6) and looking for a place to start\, or just wanting a refresher\, this is the class for you! We’ll break down the scope and goals of the code\, how it’s organized\, where to find key information for your project and what are some general best practices for successful implementation during design\, permitting and construction. \nLearning Objectives \n• Understand what the Building Energy Efficiency Standards code is and why we have one in California \n• Learn how the energy code is organized and where to find the information you need \n• Recognize key energy requirements that can inform building design\, plan review and construction decisions \n• Learn strategies to communicate energy code requirements to promote successful implementation of energy efficiency and indoor air quality standards. \nLearning Units \n\n1.50 AIA LUs approved for this course\n0.15 ICC CEUs approved for this course\n1.50 CEA CEUs approved for this course\n\nInstructors \nJennifer Rennick\, In Balance Green Consulting \nAndy Pease\, In Balance Green Consulting \nCourse Location \nZoom link provided upon registration

SUMMARY:Unitary versus Split Heat Pump Water Heating Systems
DESCRIPTION:Register \nEvent Description \nThis course introduces the key differences between unitary and split heat pump water heater systems\, with a focus on what they are\, what they do\, and how they can be used in new or retrofit building applications. Participants will gain a practical understanding of the advantages\, challenges\, and considerations for selecting the right system in residential and light commercial projects. The session will also cover installation factors\, energy efficiency impacts\, and maintenance requirements\, helping professionals make informed decisions when specifying or recommending heat pump water heating solutions. \nLearning Objectives \n\nDescribe the fundamental differences between unitary and split heat pump water heater systems.\nIdentify the advantages and limitations of unitary and split systems in terms of performance\, installation requirements\, and maintenance.\nEvaluate the impact of system type on energy efficiency\, climate zone suitability\, and customer needs.\nApply best practices for selecting the appropriate system type for specific project scenarios\, considering factors such as space constraints\, noise levels\, and refrigerant management.\n\nLearning Units \n\n1.0 AIA LUs applied for this course\n\nInstructor \nEric Fenno\, Small Planet Supply \nCourse Location \nZoom link provided upon registration
