The material covers the move to water heating electrification and focuses on the basic questions surrounding the transition in electric residences. Includes several studies and myths and methods for new construction and retrofits. California code issues are covered for both new construction and retrofits. A Webcast with a sample HPWH covering the various features and design elements.
This is class 4 of 6 in 3C-REN’s High Performance Fundamentals Certificate series. Earn a 3C-REN certificate of completion after finishing the series and passing short quizzes at the end of each class. This series will be hosted twice throughout 2023. Having gained a solid understanding of high-performance building enclosures from classes 1 through 3 in 3C-REN’s High Performance Fundamentals series, participants are well-prepared for this class, which will provide a foundation in the use of heat pumps for both space
Manufacturers Heat Pump Water Heating (HPWH) Education session focused on technology features and benefits, appropriate applications, energy efficiency compared to other water heater types, installation techniques, and best practices, service support and warranty, proper maintenance, troubleshooting, and selling strategies.
EEBA's High Performance Home BuilderSummit will focus on providing the tools and networking that builders, raters, analysts, and architects need to take high performance, healthy, resilient homes to new heights. Our annual High Performance Home BuilderSummit showcases cutting edge research and best practices of high performance housing. The time to dramatically accelerate the creation of high performance homes is now. EEBA can no longer be satisfied with (only) the dissemination of building science information. Through this Summit, EEBA will educate
Utility energy efficiency programs have a strong record of saving customers energy and money. But today’s urgent challenges—from climate change to inequitable energy burdens—demand that we ramp up these efficiency efforts and reimagine what these programs are capable of, building on the strong foundations in place. Join us at the Energy Efficiency as Resource (EER) conference in Philadelphia, October 16–18, 2023, to explore how efficiency efforts can expand and evolve amid a transforming utility industry.
Part 1 of 5 - October 16, 2023 (12pm - 1:30pm) Building electrification is rapidly accelerating in California and beyond. In 2022, for the first time, more electric heat pumps were sold than gas furnaces. It is important for homeowners, renters, real estate professionals, architects, and other professionals to be aware of these changes and prepare for future upgrades. In this webinar, Electrify My Home will describe what’s led to the electrification movement, why going electric is a wise choice
Part 1 of 5 - October 17, 2023 (8:30am - 12:30pm) This training series will focus on the design, commissioning and operational issues associated with heat pumps and heat pump systems with a focus on how this type of equipment can facilitate electrification of buildings and building systems. The content will be divided into five half-day sessions. Each session will stand alone, but the different training modules will also be inter-related. Ideally people interested in using heat pumps as part
This class is intended to equip homeowners planning remodeling projects to work effectively with their design and building team to incorporate high-performance goals of efficiency, comfort, electrification, etc.—and avoid common pitfalls. Managing even a simple project can be challenging enough, but when you’re targeting high performance, it takes extra care to make sure you get the results you hope for. This talk will cover: Definitions and benefits of high performance, efficiency, electrification, solar, and batteries A quick introduction to State

Ever think, “I cannot afford to convert my home into a zero-carbon home? It’s too much to think about or learn all at one time!” Instructor Terry Nordbye will present key elements of a zero-carbon home and how to plan a long-term strategy to decarbonize your home. This session unpacks the project history of two heavy carbon emission homes and how they were converted to zero-carbon homes over a period of 12 years.
