California Building Energy Modeling (CalBEM)

In a world facing increasing climate challenges, our buildings and grid must adapt. In this paper from the 2024 ACEEE Summer Study, Kathleen Bryan from 2050 Partners, along with Randall Higa (Southern California Edison (SCE)), Brittany Moffett (Arup), Hayley Powers, P.E. (Arup), and Sean Denniston (Heritage Green Consulting) explore how Building Performance Standards can serve as a catalyst for increasing climate resilience as well as measures that enhance the stability of the grid.

While the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit’s ruling in the California Restaurant Association v. City of Berkeley case changed the preemption landscape, there are still opportunities for building codes and other policies to achieve deep energy efficiency and decarbonization goals under EPCA. Kristen Driskell, Director at 2050 Partners, recently wrote and presented a paper that explores: - The implications of the case for local building codes - How the case affects future interpretations of EPCA’s preemption provisions - Alternative strategies for achieving deep energy efficiency - Examples of successful building code approaches - Long-term policy implications.

How does airflow impact heat pump water heater (HPWH) performance? Our latest research, commissioned by a major California utility, has uncovered critical insights into HPWH installation best practices. We found that ventilation significantly impacts HPWH efficiency and identified key factors like fan strength and installation location. Learn more about our findings and how to optimize HPWH performance: https://lnkd.in/g7riwMAJ #HPWH #energyefficiency #buildingcodes #sustainability #cleanenergy

As the world looks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation, the shift toward electric vehicles is becoming more and more critical. EV charging infrastructure codes and standards are constantly being reassessed, with new standards being introduced at a regular cadence. Learn how EV charging infrastructure standards are presently constituted (in California and nationally), and where we expect them to go in the future in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/gYJABsnM How do you stay up to date with ever-changing EV standards?
