The 2022 California energy code will accelerate adoption of All-Electric building and this class will show why electric homes facilitate easier energy code compliance. Join the City of Irvine in partnership with Southern California Edison for a workshop taught by instructors who have built all-electric homes for themselves and are experts in the field. You’ll get an insider view of how to design and build electric, with examples from their professional work, how to overcome common objections and obstacles, and lessons learned from the field.
