The California Technical Forum (Cal TF) is hosting this Modeling Charrette in order to develop a high-level approach for achieving a statewide consistent approach to building simulation modeling in California.  The resulting framework should deliver consistent energy simulation modeling approaches between California’s code compliance, deemed savings calculations, and custom calculations. 

 Desired attendees for this event include utility program administrators, energy efficiency implementers, A&E firms and consulting firms that utilize simulation modeling for clients, and other practitioners who use building simulation modeling in California.

 You must register in advance and space is limited.  We strongly encourage in-person attendance but will have a webinar option. The registration links are below:

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and the California investor owned utilities (IOUs) are hosting a Q&A webinar as a follow up to the Energy Efficiency Workpaper (estimated savings) Training held in November 2018.  The purpose of this Q&A webinar is to give third-party implementers and other firms the opportunity to ask additional or clarifying questions about energy efficiency workpaper requirements and submission processes.  This is will not be a training session but rather an open format Q&A.

 The Workpaper Q&A webinar will be held on Thursday, April 11, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. 

• Please register here.

• We encourage you to submit your questions in advance. Please send them to jennifer.barnes@futee.biz by COB Thursday, April 4, 2019.

Workpaper Resources:

• The presentation and video recording from the November 2018 trainings can be viewed here.

• The FAQs from the workpaper trainings are available on the EE Programs Solicitations Information & Resources webpage under 3P Workpaper FAQs v 1.13.
