SUMMARY:Novel Heat Pump Applications for New Construction and Retrofits
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a webinar in which we discuss groundbreaking ways to approach heat pumps that can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of retrofits and new construction. Traditional approaches\, like Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems and 1-to-1 mini splits\, have drawbacks like high embodied carbon\, or face challenges with new refrigerant requirements\, central system complexities\, or space limitations with existing buildings. This webinar explores a series of novel heat pump solutions—large geothermal\, window saddle units\, packaged terminal heat pumps\, and air-to-water hydronic systems—that offer more variable electrification options. Join us to learn how these applications can transform the way we think about heat pumps\, and to explore how applications of these technologies differ in climate zones\, building typologies\, and construction markets.

SUMMARY:Building Electrification Fundamentals 4 - Financial Costs and Benefits of the BE/FS Transition
DESCRIPTION:Course Description: \nInterested in transforming your building to a clean\, safe\, and healthy all-electric structure but hesitant due to the cost? What are the costs to install and operate this equipment? Are there incentives available to aid in this transition? What are the benefits both financial and non-financial? Do you need a new electric panel? This workshop will address all those questions covering the general cost of equipment\, how to think incrementally as you transition and the benefits of planning out your transition regardless of where you are in the process\, utility rates and rebates available to help pay for the changes. \nInstructor Information: Scott Blunk \nScott is a Strategic Planner of Electrification and Energy Efficiency where he creates utility wide electrification strategies. He is an Adjunct Professor of Building Science at Cosumnes River College where he has taught courses on the energy codes and mechanical codes\, energy auditing and energy modeling. \nScott received a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University and an MBA from Marquette University. Scott has worked in the field of green building and energy efficiency for 20 years in many different rolls including: building contractor\, energy consultant\, new construction residential program administrator\, existing building program manager\, mechanical engineer\, energy rater\, trainer\, and real estate broker. \nLearning Outcomes: \nAt the conclusion of this class participants will be able to: \n\nHow to plan out your electrification project(s)\nLearn about the costs you can expect to pay for each project\nUnderstand utility rates and changes to your energy bills\nFind out about SCE and statewide rebates\n\nTarget Audience: \n\nGeneral Audience\nHomeowners\nResidential Installers\nDesigners\n\nLearning Units: \n\nThis class will also provide prerequisite and continuing education credit for NABCEP (North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners) certifications.\n\nLearning Level:\nBasic Class: Content is introductory in nature and requires no prerequisite knowledge or experience to grasp the concepts or participate in exercises. Basic educational activities and materials are meant to establish a foundation of knowledge and competence that will be expanded upon in practice or in higher level seminars and workshops. \nSpecial Instructions:\nThis is a Webinar class and internet access is required. Customers will receive a link the Friday prior to the event.
