SUMMARY:Course: Residential Heat Pump Installation & Commissioning for Installers\, Raters & Commissioning Agents P2
DESCRIPTION:Transitioning residential and commercial heating and cooling systems from gas to electric is a key component in California’s plan to reduce emissions of global warming gasses. You\, the field staff in the HVAC trades will be installing more and more heat pumps as electrification efforts continue to ramp up. It turns out that there are large variations in the operating efficiency of heat pumps that result from our installation and commissioning practices. This class will focus on installation practices\, troubleshooting and commissioning steps that effect final installed efficiency. We will look at airflow\, line set plumbing\, refrigerant leak prevention\, location and repair\, heat pump controls and control settings. Both legacy systems and mini split systems will be covered. The course will be presented in two\, three-hour parts. \nThis webinar is courtesy of Pacific Gas & Electric. \nCourse Highlights: \n\nWhat are common service call complaints for heat pumps\nHow to measure power\, static pressure\, duct temperature\, airflow\nHow to interpret power\, static\, temperature and airflow measurements\nThe roll of electric resistance heat\nElectric resistance heat sizing\nWhen is electric resistance heat not needed?\nCold blow and fan operation curves\n\nCourse Objectives: \n\nDescribe measurement techniques for airflow\, power\, and pressure\nBe made aware of the role of electric resistance heat and the cost of its operation\nDescribe control strategies they can implement on new and existing systems to manage electric resistance backup heat\nReview the parts of the defrost system\nDescribe typical defrost system repairs\nReview troubleshooting procedures for relays\, circuit boards\, capacitors and motors\n\nLearning Level: Intermediate \nSpeaker: \nDan Perunko is cofounder of Balance Point Home Performance Company. In 2006\, along with Gavin Healy\, Dan started a successful company providing full-service home performance analysis\, retrofits\, consultations\, and trainings. Dan works on new and existing construction designs and hands on installations of enclosures\, mechanical\, plumbing\, and indoor air quality components based on tested performance outcomes. Dan especially enjoys improving existing homes to provide homeowners with levels of comfort and energy consumption that they have not believed possible. Dan brings his experience in construction\, design and building analysis\, to make his class materials relevant\, useful and understandable regardless of the attendees’ level of experience.
