Dr. Saum K. Nour, Ph.D. Presents
2025 California Energy Code changes and their impact on Design and Construction starting January 1, 2026 - Part 1 Commercial
(You can attend one or both parts 2.5 AIA HSW / ZNCD credit each session = 5 credit hours)
About this Course:
The 2025 California Energy Code, which applies to building permits filed on or after January 1, 2026, includes significant changes to commercial and residential building design. This course is offered in two parts. Part 1 will cover energy changes impacting commercial design and construction and Part 2 will cover energy changes impacting residential design and construction.
Energy specialist, Dr. Saum Nour will present a synopsis of the energy code changes that go into effect January 1, 2026, which focus on electrification and efficiency. Changes impacting commercial design and construction to be reviewed include new rules requiring solar photovoltaic systems, modifications to heat pump water heater design, building alteration requirements, and new demand responsive controls for HVAC zoning and thermostats.
Learning Objectives
1. Attendees will learn about the requirements of the 2025 Energy Code mandating more energy efficient design in commercial buildings. This course explains how changes are a critical component to zero net carbon design strategies and goals.
2. Attendees will learn how changes to the 2025 Energy Code impacts building square footage, volume, and structural design to meet the new California energy efficiencies.
3.Attendees will examine how the new energy code requirements impact design components and building layout in the early phases of design.
4.Attendees will review a new energy code sample checklist impacting how major building equipment must now comply. This energy code checklist may be used in the early design phase and before hiring the engineering team to create an energy efficient and well-designed building that also considers "zero code" standards to mandate the high levels of efficiency and renewable energy use required to achieve net zero carbon emissions
