Small Firm Forum: The New Title 24 for Residential Design: What You Should Know (1.5 LU | HSW)

This presentation will look at particulars of the 2019 California Energy Code as it relates to residential additions and new houses, including Accessory Dwelling Units. We will discuss trigger points for insulation, water heating, and ventilation that have changed since the 2016 code. We will discuss common Energy compliance strategies for this project type. We will discuss electric space-heating and water-heating options to replace the gas-fired equipment that designers may have specified in the past. Be prepared to discuss your experience with the new title 24 for the last half hour. Deborah Lane will moderate with Dan Johnson.
