SUMMARY:Avoiding Main Panel Upgrades - Part 1: Demystifying & Calculating Loads on Your Main Panel
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nThis is part 1 of a 2 part class. \nUnderstanding your main electrical panel is essential for the transition to an electrified home. This session simplifies the components of the main electrical panel in a home. It will explain prescriptive and performance-based load calculations to determine whether a main panel upgrade is necessary. It also covers load management techniques and how power-efficient appliances can reduce demand on the electrical panel. \nLearning Outcomes: \nAs a result of attending this class you can expect to learn the following \n\nDifferences between prescriptive ‘bottom-up’ and performance-based ‘actual measured’ load calculations\nHow to assess the need for a panel upgrade based on load calculations\nTechniques for managing electrical loads using power-efficient devices to avoid unnecessary upgrades\nHow to calculate and understand the electrical capacity of your main panel\n\nTarget Audience: \n\nEngineers\nContractors\nElectricians\nHome Energy Consultants\n\nPrerequisite(s): \n\nN/A\n\nLearning Units: \n\nN/A\n\nInstructor Information: \nSpencer Rosen \nSpencer Rosen has been in the clean energy industry for over 20 years and has a laundry list of home energy certifications. He has run his own home energy audit and whole-home upgrade company\, Energy Integrity\, for approximately 8 years. \nHe has been in many homes\, crawled around in attics\, removed low-efficiency materials and equipment\, sealed leaks\, upgraded windows\, replaced ducts\, added insulation\, upgraded heating + cooling systems\, and installed solar energy and battery systems. \nTo increase his impact\, he began participating in various rebate and advocacy programs and developed these home energy courses to empower people with the knowledge to make their homes perform better. \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 live webinar presented via Microsoft Teams and internet access is required & participation via the Microsoft Teams App is encouraged.
