2022 Code Breaker: Solar, Battery & Zero Net Carbon Design
AIA Orange County & Southern California Edison - A Collaborative Partnership
2022 Code Breaker: Solar, Battery & Zero Net Carbon Design
Solar and battery requirements have evolved over the past decade in the California energy code. We 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:
Attendees will recognize when solar photovoltaic and battery systems are required in single-family homes.
Attendees will learn and recognize when solar photovoltaic and battery systems are required in Nonresidential buildings and Multifamily buildings.
Attendees will learn how solar and battery systems improve grid harmony of buildings and onsite consumption of solar energy.
Attendees will understand how alternative design options for single-family homes and nonresidential buildings can achieve ZNCD using efficiency measures, solar, and battery systems.
