SUMMARY:Residential Electrification and Decarbonization with the Passive House Standard
DESCRIPTION:Part 3 of 9  \nThe Passive House Standard encourages all-electric building design and construction in homes and buildings\, which can help achieve the widescale decarbonization required for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Passive House Network will demonstrate how Passive House principles align with the California’s decarbonization goals. This session will cover the technology options for all-electric homes and outline the many reasons to electrify with the Passive House Standard for better health\, comfort\, and cost benefits. \nAgenda: \n\nIntroduction and safety message\nPassive House principles and how they support electrification\nBenefits of electrification\nTechnologies for electrification\nCalifornia case studies of electrification\nClass survey\, closing and wrap up\n\nAt the completion of this course\, the student will be able to: \n\nExplain Passive House principles in relation to electrification\nSummarize the health and cost benefits of electrification\nName technologies that support electrification\nDescribe an example of electrified Passive House in California

SUMMARY:Drain Water Heat Recovery Manufacturers Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Learn how drain water heat recovery can be combined with a heat pump water heater for efficiency and savings. \n\n\nDid you know it’s possible to recover 40-60% wasted heat from showering? Most households are simply pouring that hot water down the drain\, when they could be harvesting much of the heat energy. On Wednesday\, June 10\, we’ll dive into drain water heat recovery (DWHR) and how it can pair with a heat pump water for even better efficiency and savings. Join us to hear from some of the leading DWHR experts and manufacturers in an exciting roundtable presentation and discussion.
