SUMMARY:Electric Heat Pumps for Water Heating
DESCRIPTION:Course description:\n\n\n\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 such as 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. \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

SUMMARY:Designing for Decarbonization
DESCRIPTION:Course Description: This is an online class \nWant to know more about what it means to achieve “decarbonization” for your building project? Understand the definition of decarbonization\, zero net energy (ZNE)\, and zero net carbon (ZNC) buildings\, see case studies of completed projects\, and understand the design and construction process necessary to achieve high-performance buildings. Learn about important market trends around energy efficiency\, green building code requirements\, proven and emerging technologies\, operational best practices\, and real-world case studies in the built environment as well as give resources and tools to set building owners\, operators\, and end users up for success. The workshop will provide tangible next steps for how we can all contribute and shift toward a decarbonized future. \nLearning Outcomes: \n\nUnderstand the definition of Decarbonization\nLearn how to achieve zero carbon in a commercial building\nView case studies of zero and low carbon strategies in projects\nUnderstand various technologies and operational best practices that contribute to decarbonization
