SUMMARY:More Than One Brand In The Hand: Application Specific HPWH Design
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nAs California accelerates its push toward electrification\, heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) are playing a critical role in driving efficient and clean water heating solutions. However\, not all HPWHs are created equal—and not every brand is suited for every home. \nThis webinar equips participants with the knowledge to make smart\, scenario-specific choices when selecting HPWHs. We’ll begin with a brief overview of why HPWH deployment is a state priority\, then explore the key factors that differentiate products—such as noise levels\, ducting requirements\, physical location constraints\, electrical panel capacity\, and more. \nThe session concludes with an exercise exploring real-world installation scenarios—including garages\, basements\, indoor closets\, outdoor closets\, outdoor tankless replacements\, and attics. Attendees will learn to identify which HPWH models are best suited to each condition\, reinforcing the need for a multi-brand approach to successful system design. \nLearning Objectives \n\nUnderstand California’s policy drivers for HPWH adoption.\nIdentify key features that distinguish HPWH products across manufacturers.\nApply scenario-based reasoning to select optimal HPWHs for various home installation conditions.

SUMMARY:All Electric ADUs
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nADUs are an important source of housing development all over California. They are especially well suited to all-electric design. This class will cover the key systems in an all-electric ADU and draw on the ADU recently built by the instructor out of Structural Insulated Panel System (SIPS)\, but other building envelopes will also be covered\, including more traditional wood-framed structures and modular ADUs. We will use energy modeling to contrast utility bills and Greenhouse Gas Emissions of mixed fuel and all-electric homes\, as well as actual data from the real-life operation of the ADU\, which is currently being monitored circuit by circuit. The financials will be prominently featured as well\, so that attendees considering building an ADU can make an informed decision and see how attractive the economics typically are. \nLearning Objectives \n\nLearn why All-Electric ADUs make sense most of the time\nUnderstand key systems in an All-electric home and design options\nCompare utility costs and GHG emissions of mixed fuel and All-electric ADUs\nSee how the California energy code encourages All-electric ADUs

SUMMARY:Nail the Sale: Getting Past Heat Pump Objections
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nHeat Pumps are quickly gaining traction as a preferred HVAC and water heating technology. California has a goal for 6 million installed heat pumps by 2030\, and state plans indicate that new gas furnace and water heaters will not be permitted after 2030. While the path forward for heat pumps seems clear\, the technology is still foreign to most homeowners. To meet the above-mentioned goals\, contractors and other industry professionals must arm themselves with the knowledge (and sometimes the data) to dispel myths about heat pumps. In this webinar\, you’ll hear from Larry Waters\, an HVAC industry veteran who switched his focus towards home performance in 2010 and towards inverter heat pumps in 2014. With over 400 heat pump installations under his belt\, Larry’s heard just about every objection in the book and will relay best practices for responding to such objections. \nLearning Objectives \n\nDevelop two consultative questions that will help prepare a response to a customer’s objection\nDescribe one reason why older vintage heat pumps spoiled the opinions of some customers & HVAC pros\nName three features of gas appliances that are disadvantageous\nExplain why heat pumps are the perfect fit for California’s climate\nList five reasons why heat pumps are better than gas furnaces

SUMMARY:Crafting High Performance Enclosures: Roofs\, Walls\, and Floors
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nBuilding enclosures – the roof\, walls\, and floor – are the first line of defense between nature and people. Enclosure performance is optimized when air sealing and insulation – two underappreciated and typically underperforming features – are done to high-performance standards rather than the status quo. This class covers installation — the practical application of those principles on the job site – the hands-on activities that differentiate ‘business-as-usual’ from high-performance construction. These include best practices for air sealing\, insulation installation\, and window installation\, along with the tools and methods (e.g.\, blower door testing) used to measure the quality of work\, and the metrics against which the work can be evaluated. \nLearning Objectives \n\nDescribe preferred methods and materials used for air sealing different types of building openings\, and how to test the results;\nExplain the difference between conventional insulation practices and “Quality Insulation Installation (QII)” methods\, and how QII is verified;\nIdentify five common building enclosure installation flaws and how to avoid them.\nQuantify the magnitude of the gap between minimum energy code compliance and high performance\, where all energy features are confirmed with building performance test methods.
