SUMMARY:Electrify Efficiently: Operating a Heat Pump – Best Practices to Minimize Call Backs (Part 2 of 5)
DESCRIPTION:Heat pumps are inherently different than gas furnaces or gas water heaters. Contractors and other industry professionals must take time to educate customers\, clients\, and others on these differences to ensure optimal customer satisfaction. This webinar will outline best practices for system operation of ducted and ductless mini-splits\, unitary heat pumps\, and heat pump water heaters. \nAgenda: \n\nIntroduction and safety message\nHeat pump operation: characteristics and differences with gas furnaces or water heaters\nAdding value to the customer journey\nMinimizing call backs\n\nThe objective of this course is that at the conclusion\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain one reason why heat pumps operate differently than gas furnaces\nName at least two points in the customer journey where education on heat pump operation are essential\nDescribe proper multi-split system operation in a way a typical customer can understand\nSummarize why customer satisfaction is critical to the adoption of heat pumps and home electrification

SUMMARY:Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) and the California Energy Code - 2025
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:\nAccessory Dwelling Units (ADU) are becoming an important form of housing in California but designing and building these units to comply with the 2025 Energy Code can be challenging. This course covers the prescriptive requirements that apply to new ADUs and discusses both minimum requirements and design options for compliance.  Course includes a case study of the instructor’s ADU. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDetermine if an ADU is considered an addition or a new residential building\nConsider envelope options for ADU additions and new ADU’s\nDescribe the renewable energy requirements for ADU additions and new ADU’s (PV / Battery)\nIdentify the HVAC/Domestic hot water (DHW) equipment and HERS verification measures options that provide ADU design flexibility and how utility source (natural gas versus all-electric) impacts those choices\n\nTarget Audience: \n\nBuilder-developers\nContractors\nArchitects\nEngineers\nConsultants\nHomeowners\nCity officials\n\nLearning Units:\nN/A \nLearning Level:\nIntermediate Class: Content is appropriate for individuals who possess a fundamental understanding of the topic and have familiarity with basic terminology and methodology of the subject matter. Attendees should have the capacity to participate in instructor-led exercises requiring synthesis and application of concepts. \nSpecial Instructions:\nThis is a Webinar class and internet access is required. Customers will receive a link to the webinar the Friday prior to the event.
