SUMMARY:Installing Individual Heat Pump Water Heaters
DESCRIPTION:Course Overview \nThere are several design considerations for individual heat pump water heaters. In addition\, heat pump water heaters can be an effective strategy to reduce grid peak loads. This course will provide an overview of heat pump water heaters and associated code requirements. The course will take a deep dive into design considerations discussing sizing\, venting configurations\, load shifting\, and installation best practices. This course draws from experience of working through hundreds of heat pump water heater retrofits with design teams\, contractors\, and research projects. \nInstructors: \nAmy Dryden is Director of Strategic Innovations at the Association for Energy Affordability\, Inc. specializing in strategic initiatives\, codes and standards\, program design\, training\, and research and development projects. She brings more than 20 years of experience in residential green building design and construction\, consulting\, and planning\, and works to advance the industry to deliver sustainable and healthy housing. Amy has developed training and delivered in-person\, in field\, and distance learning trainings to design professional\, consultants\, contractors\, builders\, building inspectors\, and plan reviewers. She has contributed to national\, state\, and local auditing and green building standards\, for DOE\, California Low Income Housing Tax Credit Programs\, GreenPoint Rated and Building Performance Institute. Amy works with diverse set of stakeholders to provide healthy affordable housing in a decarbonized future. On the side she has the pleasure of driving an all-electric 1946 Ford pick-up. \n  \nJack Aitchison has been at AEA since 2017 and is dedicated to reducing energy\, carbon and hazardous indoor air quality issues in existing multifamily buildings. As a technical assistance (TA) provider for the Bay Area Multifamily Building Enhancement (BAMBE) program\, Jack project manages energy upgrades across numerous multifamily buildings. Jack continues to manage the development of tools to support new technical aspects of energy efficiency programs AEA administers\, including: energy savings\, equipment sizing\, eligibility\, and rebate calculations for new or updated program elements. Jack also has also been instrumental in assisting companies bringing new technologies to the CA market such as retrofit heat pump HVAC systems and load shedding/sharing systems to make electrification projects more feasible. Jack holds a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Resources Engineering from Humboldt State University. Jack is a certified Engineer in Training (EIT)\, BPI Building Analyst (BA)\, and Certified Passive House Consultant (NAPHN).

SUMMARY:Combi Heat Pump Webinar
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will delve into combination space and water heating systems\, also known as combi systems. While these systems seem promising\, they present a level of complexity that raises questions about their practicality. The current market boasts standalone heat pump water heaters and space conditioning heat pump systems. This webinar will explore whether it is possible to merge them into a singular device and not sacrifice efficiency and cost. \n\n\n\nField research is underway\, examining various configurations of space and water heating combined systems. In Europe and Asia there are many more market available combi heat pump and heat pump water heating technologies. Products available in the U.S. market are in early commercialization stages and appear tailored for single-family residential use. Some systems offer cooling as an add-on system while others have cooling offered by default. \nJoin us for this event to learn about ongoing advancements in combi systems and the need for further exploration to optimize efficiency\, affordability\, and suitability in order to successfully combine heat pumps for space and water heating. \nPanelists include:\nEdward Louie\nEdward is a Building Energy Efficiency Research Engineer with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. He loves all things related to building science\, energy efficiency\, and sustainability. His focus is on residential homes. For retrofitting millions of existing homes\, his overarching solution is to implement low-cost\, relatively easy-to-execute envelope improvements to reduce air leakage\, increase insulation and then meet the thermal loads with very energy efficient heat pumps for space conditioning and domestic hot water. \nPierre Delforge\nPierre is co-founder and head of Product and Operations at Harvest Thermal\, where he is leading product design\, development\, and deployment. Before Harvest\, Pierre spent 20 years in the computer industry\, and 12 at NRDC where he led building decarbonization policy advocacy. Pierre is passionate about making home decarbonization cost-effective and accessible to all. \nModerator:\nJoe Wachunas\, Program Manager\, New Buildings Institute
