SUMMARY:Central Heat Pump Water Heater Advanced Design and Installation
DESCRIPTION:The heat pump market in the US is evolving and new technologies are being brought in to expand options and applications. Come take a deeper dive into some existing water heating systems\, sizing calculations\, design options and load shifting. \nThis training will take a deeper dive into CHPWH systems\, design\, sizing\, and installation.  Targeting contractors\, MEPs and installers\, the training will cover the content outlined below. The class will include hot water demand calculations to support system sizing and energy consumption modeling to support photovoltaic system sizing to offset usage. Learn about emerging technologies\, new applications of existing technologies and controls to support all-electric water heating in multifamily buildings. Participants will work through an exercise using tools to size a system and consider equipment selection. \n•             CHPWH piping \n•             Design Considerations \n•             Factors that impact sizing \n•             Sizing system and sizing considerations \n•             Load shifting \n•             Equipment selection \n•             Installation Best practices \n•             Operation and maintenance \n•             Energy consumption\, modeling\, and photovoltaic panels \n•             Practice Exercise \nTraining Objectives: \n•            Learn about different systems and the considerations for design and sizing and system selection based on site conditions \n•            Understand Sizing calculation methodologies and approaches \n•            Understand equipment selection based on sizing results and site considerations \n•            Understand how to incorporate PV systems to reduce operational costs \n•            Understand start up process and maintenance considerations for system type
