SUMMARY:COTE Presents: Right-Sizing Residential Plumbing with the Water Demand Calculator
DESCRIPTION:AIA Long Beach / South Bay & Southern California Edison\, a Collaborative Partnership \n\n\n\n\n\n1.0 AIA LU/HSW \n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\nREGISTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZOOM LOG-IN WILL BE EMAILED ONE DAY IN ADVANCE OF THE WEBINAR \n\n\n\nDescription: \n\n\n\nThis session will cover the benefits of using the California Plumbing Code’s Water Demand Calculator (WDC) to size plumbing in homes and apartment buildings. It is a solution that reduces water aging\, delivers hot water faster\, generates significant construction cost savings\, reduces the carbon footprint of the structure\, and subsequently saves on water- and water heating-related utility bills for the entire life of the plumbing system. Effective July 1\, 2024\, the WDC became part of the California Plumbing Code (as Appendix M). Instead of using flow rates and flush volumes from the 1940s\, the WDC will allow plumbing designers to “right-size” the cold and hot water distribution systems in homes and apartment buildings using modern information about flow rates and simultaneous use. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nDifferentiate the conditions that existed for the “default” water supply demand sizing method from the conditions that are incorporated into the Water Demand Calculator (WDC) when selecting a method for sizing peak water demand.\n\n\n\nDescribe the savings in cost\, water\, energy\, and carbon emissions achieved by using the WDC in the plumbing design of a multifamily building\n\n\n\nSummarize the reduced public health and safety risk as well as water quality benefit of plumbing systems designed using the WDC when justifying the use of the WDC.\n\n\n\nLocate instructional resources for using the WDC in the plumbing designs of upcoming projects.\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGary Klein\, President of Gary Klein & Associates has been intimately involved in energy efficiency and renewable energy since 1974. Mr. Klein has a passion for hot water: getting into it\, getting out of it and efficiently delivering it to meet customers’ needs. He works to simplify building codes and to get architects and builders to use plumbing systems that\, by their design\, deliver hot water quickly and with minimal waste. \n\n\n\nAfter serving 19 years with the California Energy Commission\, he has provided consulting on sustainability since 2008. Mr. Klein received a BA from Cornell University in 1975 with an Independent Major in Technology and Society with an emphasis on energy conservation and renewable energy.

SUMMARY:COTE Presents: Energy Code Compliance Forms - A Goldmine of Design Insights
DESCRIPTION:AIA Long Beach / South Bay & Southern California Edison\, a Collaborative Partnership \n\n\n\n\n\n1.0 AIA LU/HSW + 1.0 ZNCD \n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZOOM LOG-IN WILL BE EMAILED ONE DAY IN ADVANCE OF THE WEBINAR \n\n\n\nDescription: \n\n\n\nIs complying with the Energy Code just another chore? It doesn’t have to be! Gain valuable insight into your projects\, collaborate with your team\, AND build buildings that lower energy use and operational carbon. See how to transform energy code compliance from a tedious task into a strategic advantage for your architectural practice. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives: \n\n\n\n\nDetermine Energy Code requirements based on project scope of work.   \n\n\n\nIdentify the various compliance pathways available and determine which option is most appropriate for the project.   \n\n\n\nVerify that design documents align with the chosen compliance pathway by utilizing the Certificate of Compliance as a comprehensive checklist.   \n\n\n\nEmploy the performance approach to offer guidance on measuring energy usage and operational carbon of the proposed building design. \n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGina Rodda is currently the Owner of Gabel Energy out of Castro Valley\, California\, and has been in the energy modeling field since 1991.
