Whole-home electrification is possible with a 100-Amp electric panel. Home-owners can save thousands of dollars and, in some cases, months of time waiting for a new service line to be installed. In this webinar we will explore the electric code, methods of electrifying without upsizing, and important pitfalls to avoid. As motivated decarbonizers, Tom Kabat and Josie Gaillard will share their techniques for code compliance, project design, equipment selection, and electrification plans that save time and money. |

The 2022 Energy Code supports electrification to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Electric appliances such as heat pump water heaters, heat pump space conditioners, and induction cooktops are impacted by different aspects of the building code as well as planning and zoning. With increased incentives and reach codes driving toward electrification, the projects submitted for permits may vary from previous business as usual upgrades. This class will focus on the energy and green building codes for residential as it relates to

Energy efficiency and electrification projects have become a focus across the state. Permitting is a necessary step to ensure we are meeting our goals, but is also a significant barrier. In this virtual forum, we will have speakers share best practices and strategies for permitting processes, which may include transitioning to online permitting, virtual inspection, energy friendly permit programs, and more. Speakers will also address common challenges to permitting for electrification, e.g. setbacks, noise levels, panel sizing/utility pushback. Join 3C-REN |

Heat Pump Dryers are the most efficient dryers on the market and use one quarter or less energy than a typical electric resistance or gas dryer. They use heat pump technology to move heat rather than create it and with their ventless technology, they work well in apartments and multi-family units. Heat pump dryers are also having a moment. Manufacturers are greatly expanding their offering of new models including exciting options where washers are combined with heat pump dryers. Join |
