The California Energy Commission (CEC) is updating the state's building energy efficiency standards to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, aiming to lower energy bills. These standards, revised every three years, will be finalized in August and take effect in 2026. Advocates want to add a provision encouraging homeowners to replace old or broken air conditioners with electric heat pumps. The current draft promotes electrification by encouraging heat-pump HVAC systems and heat-pump water heaters in new buildings and replacing commercial air conditioners with heat pumps.

Deep energy #retrofits are more than just basic improvements; they are substantial, systems-wide upgrades to a building’s enclosure, as well as its heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, and hot water systems - via Passive House Accelerator.

Benefits and features of air source heat pumps： Sure, here are the benefits and features of air source heat pumps: 1. **High Efficiency**: Air source heat pumps offer high energy efficiency by utilizing ambient air as a renewable heat source.    2. **Environmentally Friendly**: They produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional heating systems, reducing environmental impact.    3. **Versatility**: Suitable for both heating and cooling purposes, providing year-round comfort in various climates.    4. **Cost Savings**: Lower operating costs due to reduced energy consumption, especially when compared to electric resistance heating.    5. **Renewable Energy Source**: Utilizes freely available ambient air, reducing reliance on finite fossil fuels.    6. **Quiet Operation**: Operates quietly, enhancing indoor comfort without disruptive noise levels.    7. **Long Lifespan**: With proper maintenance, air source heat pumps can have a long operational lifespan.    8. **Space Saving**: Compact design requires less space for installation compared to traditional heating systems.    9. **Rebates and Incentives**: Often eligible for government rebates and incentives, making them more cost-effective to install.    10. **Zoned Heating/Cooling**: Can be used in zoned heating and cooling systems, providing personalized comfort control for different areas.

The Future Is Water: A New Campaign At the heart of this revolution is the idea that “water is energy.” This call to recognize water as a tool of thermal energy transfer through piping networks is undeniable. Water’s unique properties and ability to store and transfer heat make it an ideal candidate for hydronic systems using thermal energy. 

Water heating is one of the biggest challenges for building owners and developers as cities move toward electrification and natural gas bans. Whether you're struggling with rising costs and maintenance of aging gas boilers or navigating Title 24 compliance for new construction, there’s a smarter, more sustainable solution. Hybrid systems combining solar thermal technology with advanced CO2 heat pumps offer significant cost savings, reduced infrastructure demands, and long-term environmental benefits. In my latest blog post, I break down how this innovative approach transforms water heating for both existing buildings and new projects. Read the full post to see how you can cut operating expenses, secure incentives, and future-proof your building’s water heating system Check out my blog post https://wix.to/T0UD16Q #newblogpost

Now is the perfect time to retrofit your home for energy efficiency. From insulation upgrades to energy audits, small changes can lead to big savings.

If you’re considering energy efficiency upgrades, your basement may be at the bottom of your list. Still, it’s a part of your home you can make more comfortable while achieving significant energy savings. If your basement is uninsulated or you have an inefficient heating system, you’re likely spending more than you need to on your energy bills. The good news? We can help make these upgrades more affordable. Read about our offers and some simple tips to help you save in your basement: https://lnkd.in/gQqH8qUh

When the sun can do it all... We have talked about infrared heating panels and the solar panels, which can power them. Today we'll explain how to harnessing renewable energy to heat water efficiently. The need to reduce energy bills and carbon emissions are driving demand for alternative forms of water heating. Our range of solar assisted heat pump water heaters might just be the answer. These water heaters can be best described as ‘a fridge in reverse’. Most of you understand that the panel on the back of your fridge is an important factor in keeping its contents cold. Reversing this principle by using an aluminium evaporator (panel) to absorb heat rather than reject heat, allows us to utilise the ambient air temperature day and night, all year, to change the refrigerant liquid circulating through the panel from a liquid state to a gaseous state. The returning refrigerant, now heated and in a gaseous state is then compressed and heated further. The compressed refrigerant is then passed through a heat exchanger where the heat is transferred to the water, heating it to 55°C. Most installations only require one thermodynamic evaporator panel and can be installed on a wall as well as a roof, both horizontally and vertically and once installed doesn’t need to be cleaned, or re-filled to operate.
