SUMMARY:The Practical Guide to All-Electric Residential Buildings (Part 1): Why All-Electric\, Solar\, Cooking
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nThe case for building all-electric is stronger than ever. All-electric homes are cheaper to build and operate\, healthier and more comfortable to live in\, and have GHG emissions roughly half that of mixed-fuel homes. The 2025 California Energy Code makes heat pumps standard statewide\, which will accelerate adoption of all-electric buildings. This 2-part class will show why electric homes facilitate easier energy code compliance. Taught by two instructors who have built all-electric homes for themselves\, and will broadcast live from in front of their heat pump water heaters and induction stoves\, you’ll get an insider view of how to design and build electric homes\, including examples from their professional work\, how to overcome common objections and obstacles\, and lessons learned from the field. Attendees will gain a better understanding of the technologies that enable all-electric homes\, including heat pump heating and cooling\, heat pump water heaters\, induction cooking\, and heat pump clothes dryers. \nLearning Objectives \n\nWhy All-Electric homes are superior to typical mixed fuel homes in terms of cost\, health\, emissions\, and quality of life\nKey products and systems used in all-electric homes (heat pumps for space conditioning\, heat pump water heaters\, induction cooktops\, and electric clothes dryers)\nHow to model all-electric systems for Title 24 compliance\nCost-effectiveness of all-electric designs compared to traditional designs\nSingle-family and multifamily examples plus remodels and ADUs\nQuality of life reasons to consider all-electric designs\n\nLearning Units \n\n1.50 AIA LUs approved for this course\n0.15 ICC CEUs approved for this course
