SUMMARY:Contractor Demand Building Program
DESCRIPTION:Program description\nThe Contractor Demand Building Program is a hands-on training initiative designed to support California’s skilled trade workforce in the proper installation of Heat Pump Water Heaters (HPWH). Open to all California licensed contractors and their affiliated installers or technicians\, the program offers in-person training sessions held throughout Southern California Edison (SCE) territory. There is no limit to the number of team members a contractor can send. Upon successful completion of the course\, each participant receives one HPWH unit to install within SCE’s service area. This program helps accelerate the adoption of energy-efficient technologies while supporting California’s decarbonization goals. Please visit www.on.sce.com/hpwh to register

SUMMARY:Electric Heat Pumps for Water Heating
DESCRIPTION:Course description\n\n\n\n\n\nBy enrolling in this course\, you agree to receive text message course reminders. Upon receiving your first message you will have the option to opt out by replying “STOP”. \nAs our electricity supply becomes cleaner\, due to an increased use of renewables for generation and a growing number of local ordinances prohibiting gas installs in new homes\, electricity becomes an attractive fuel source to designers and builders interested in reducing residential greenhouse gas emissions and creating zero carbon homes. \nDan Perunko of Balance Point Home Performance will present on efficiency gains\, and overcoming common installation pitfalls from electric heat pump water heaters in new and existing buildings. Class discussion will cover the advantages and limitations of these systems\, the available technology and refrigerant types\, as well as features like load flexing. \nThe U.S. Department of Energy has recognized this course as part of PG&E Energy Center’s Heat Pump Water Heater program as Energy Skilled in Installation. Energy Skilled heat pump water heater programs include important content to prepare students to install and specify high quality\, next generation heat pump water heater systems. Enroll here to complete the three-part series to receive your Energy Skilled recognition. \nAgenda: \n\nIntroduction and safety message\nHeat pumps water heaters (HPHW) overview\nHPWH lab performance data\nHPWH and solar thermal systems\nHPWH and space heating systems\nHPWH with CO₂ as a refrigerant\nHPWH demand response strategy and efficiency\nImportance of efficient plumbing distribution system\n\nThe objective of this course is that at the conclusion\, participants will be able to: \n\nSummarize the performance parameters of electric heat pump water heaters\nDiscuss the relationship between heat pump water heaters\, solar thermal systems and space heating systems\nName at least two factors that have interactive efficiency gains of a plumbing distribution system\nList the impact of refrigerants and ways to guard against refrigerant leaks\nExplain the importance of a demand response strategy and its relationship to efficiency
