Advanced Water Heating Initiative Playbook & 2020 Progress, February 11, 10-11 am PST

Water heating is the second largest energy use in U.S. homes. Heat Pump Water Heaters (HPWHs) are a decades-old, proven technology, and are two to four times more efficient than electric resistance or standard gas water heaters. HPWHs support a growing number of programs and policies for energy efficiency, demand response and decarbonization. The...

Webinar: Getting to Zero: Carbon Neutral Codes, January 28, 10-11 am, PST (Free)

For decades, U.S. building energy codes have centered on kilowatt-hour savings in buildings. But urgency on climate change is pressing us to rapidly address and mitigate carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions from the built environment, which is responsible for 39% of operational and embodied carbon. Join us for a one-hour webinar on the...
