SUMMARY:Public Workshop: Zero-Emission Space and Water Heater Standards
DESCRIPTION:The California Air Resources Board (CARB or Board) staff invite you to participate in a virtual public workshop to provide input on the development of zero greenhouse gas emission standards for space and water heaters. These standards seek to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) and smog-forming nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from new space and water heaters sold in the state to help meet California’s climate goals and federal air quality standards. At this workshop\, staff will solicit input on an updated draft regulatory proposal. Staff will request feedback on zero-emission technology types\, costs\, and adoption rates to include in the modeling work to estimate emission reduction and cost impacts for the regulatory proposal. Staff will also solicit input on suggestions for alternative regulatory concepts for inclusion in the Standardized Regulatory Impact Assessment that will be prepared for this regulatory action. In addition\, this workshop will also serve as a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) scoping meeting to solicit input on the scope and content of the Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) to be prepared for the proposed project. \n\n\nThis workshop is one in a series of workshops and focused meetings with interested parties that CARB will be hosting to inform the rulemaking process for zero-emission space and water heater standards.

SUMMARY:Using LIHEAP and WAP to Expand Low-Income Solar Access
DESCRIPTION:Low- and moderate-income households make up fewer than 20% of solar adopters\, despite representing over 40% of U.S. households. Federal assistance programs—like the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) and the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)—can address this solar access gap through a variety of pathways for low-income households. Just last year\, WAP and LIHEAP issued guidance to support the inclusion of solar. The U.S. Department of Energy and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have published new resources to help integrate solar into these services for low-income households\, including a decision guide\, implementation toolkit\, case studies\, and more: http://www.energy.gov/scep/wap/solar-resources-wap-and-liheap \nA new report by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)\, “Solar Pathways in Federal Energy Assistance Programs: Expanding the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP)\,” chronicles NREL’s efforts to document successful implementation pathways through analyzing LIHEAP and WAP annual plans\, surveying LIHEAP grant recipients and WAP Grantees about obstacles to solar implementation\, and conducting interviews and workshops with program administrators. Read it here: https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy24osti/88519.pdf In this webinar hosted by the Clean Energy States Alliance\, report authors will discuss their findings and explore effective ways that WAP and LIHEAP state agencies can bring solar to their clients. \nSpeakers: \n– Juliana Williams\, Energy Markets and Policy Specialist\, NREL \n– Jenna Harmon\, Researcher\, Decision Support Analysis\, NREL \n– Matt Ohloff\, Clean Energy States Alliance (moderator)

SUMMARY:Buildings Hub Live: Electrifying Buildings in Cold Climates
DESCRIPTION:Atlas Public Policy is hosting its fourteenth episode of “Buildings Hub Live\,” where we spotlight the changemakers and technologies leading the charge to electrify our built environment. Join us Wednesday\, May 1 at 9:30am EST for a discussion on progress and developments in electrifying buildings in cold climates with Marnese Jackson\, Executive Director of the Midwest Building Decarbonization Coalition\, and Michael Stoddard\, Executive Director of Efficiency Maine. \nJust over one-third of buildings in the United States are in cold climates. It is often thought that electric heating technologies like air-source heat pumps can’t perform in these climates\, but technologies have improved and deployment is soaring in some famously cold regions. The Midwest and Northeast are the two coldest contiguous regions nationwide\, and also rely most on piped gas\, propane\, or fuel oil for space heating. \nSo how are practitioners in these places helping customers electrify their buildings and save money on their energy bills? What role do federal\, state\, and local governments play? RSVP today to find out!

SUMMARY:Ductless cold climate heat pumps for multifamily applications
DESCRIPTION:Approximately 25% of multifamily units in buildings with four units or fewer and more than 40% of units in larger multifamily buildings (MFB) in Minnesota are heated with electric resistance heat (MN Energy Efficiency Potential Study\, 2018). This is particularly prevalent in lower-income buildings whose occupants can least afford high heating costs. Technological advances in cold climate air source heat pump (ccASHP) technology offer an opportunity to reduce heating energy use and occupant energy costs in this underserved housing sector. However\, retrofit applications of ccASHPs to MFBs is distinctly different from that in single-family homes\, and it is crucial to effectively recognize and address these differences for ccASHPs to meet their truly large savings potential in MFBs. \nHear key findings from Center for Energy and Environment (CEE) on a field study of a sample of ccASHPs in four Minnesota multifamily buildings\, where CEE installed\, monitored and evaluated the performance of these ccASHPs over at least one full heating season. The presentation will cover the detailed performance data to unpack the trade-offs of different ccASHP applications and approaches\, installation best practices\, the importance and impact of good controls\, and interactions with existing and supplemental heating sources.

SUMMARY:The Intersection of Energy Codes and Electrical Codes on the Road to Decarbonization
DESCRIPTION:As the U.S. housing stock electrifies and decarbonizes in the coming decades\, hundreds of millions of new electric loads will be added to new and existing dwellings. The cost and burden of this transition will depend\, in part\, on the need to upgrade the nation’s electrical infrastructure. The National Electric Code (NEC) is used nationally to calculate electrical loads and size service infrastructure and has been identified as an obstacle in addressing existing dwellings. Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL) has led an effort funded by the US DOE to review the existing electrical code for barriers to household electrification\, which led to an analysis by LBNL of sub-metering data to support proposed changes to the code. This session will address NEC requirements around solar PV\, home batteries\, and Energy Management systems. Speakers will summarize the barriers identified in the current electrical code\, present an overview of project data analysis\, and review proposed code changes. \nContinuing education credits (AIA and ICC) will be offered for most of the live events. Instructions for requesting certificates of completion will be provided during each webinar. \nLearn more about the BECP Energy Code Webinar Series: https://www.energycodes.gov/becp-energy-code-webinar-series

SUMMARY:Decarbonizing Residential Space Heating in Cold Climates
DESCRIPTION:Decarbonizing home heating can be challenging in the coldest U.S. regions. Electric heat pumps can operate in very low temperatures\, but with reduced performance and the potential for increasing winter peak electricity demand. Hybrid systems with biofuel backups for the coldest days could help economically yet wouldn’t achieve full decarbonization. How can clean heating be achieved in the most extreme winters without straining household budgets? \nJoin this webinar to hear the results of a new ACEEE report examining the future costs of decarbonized heating in the coldest areas of the country. Report authors and outside experts will discuss the impacts of several possible technologies\, including common heat pumps\, furnace and boiler options\, the use of low-carbon backup fuels stored in small tanks\, and adoption of air-to-water heat pumps.

SUMMARY:The Future of Indoor Air: Policy Solutions for Clean and Healthy Buildings
DESCRIPTION:When strategizing health and climate goals in the building sector\, the US has a blind spot: indoor air. Despite being one of the country’s top five major health risks\, indoor air pollution is currently overlooked and unregulated. Burning fossil fuels in buildings releases additional health-harming pollutants that exacerbate climate change. A recent report from RMI summarizes how indoor air quality guidelines are a critical first step to effectively address indoor air pollutants\, and how they can inform policy measures to mitigate risk. \nRMI will host a virtual panel discussion on March 6th\, 2024 at 11am ET\, summarizing their recent report and convening industry experts to illuminate why now is the ideal time to improve indoor air and what policy solutions are available to deploy. They’ll also answer key questions about indoor air pollution and building performance\, including those from audience members.
