SUMMARY:ACEEE: 2023 Industry Summer Study
DESCRIPTION:THEME: DECARBONIZATION – TURNING GOALS INTO ACHIEVABLE ACTION PLANS The industrial sector accounts for a large portion—more than 25%—of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Decarbonizing industry will be critical not only for meeting our climate goals but also for boosting U.S. competitiveness and jobs. Momentum is building: the ambitious decarbonization goals set by the Biden administration have helped spur the manufacturing sector to begin seriously exploring how to reduce its emissions. Multiple industry associations and the Department of Energy have developed roadmaps identifying pathways to decarbonization\, and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act are set to inject significant funding into industrial decarbonization projects.

SUMMARY:Practical Guide to All-Electric Residential Buildings (Irvine City Hall)
DESCRIPTION:THIS IS AN IN-PERSON CLASS AT IRVINE CITY HALL. The 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 2022 California energy code will accelerate adoption of All-Electric building and this class will show why electric homes facilitate easier energy code compliance.  Taught by instructors who have built all-electric homes for themselves and are experts in the field\, you’ll get an insider view of how to design and build electric\, with 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 pumps\, heat pump water heaters\, induction cooking\, and heat pump clothes dryers.

SUMMARY:The Case for Practical Home Performance Electrification
DESCRIPTION:The best outcomes for heat pumps and home electrification come through careful planning and incorporation of multiple facets of a building. Understanding the intersection of energy efficiency and performance is critical to ensuring comfort\, low operational costs\, and avoidance of major grid infrastructure upgrades. This webinar will focus on the interdependence of building systems and how addressing multiple components of a home through phased or integrated upgrades is optimal and easily achievable.

SUMMARY:TECH Webinar: Enabling Faster Heat Pump Installations Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Join us for part one of our Quick Start Grant webinars and learn how new heat pump technologies can overcome barriers to heat pump adoption. These new technologies address issues using new quality assurance technologies while expanding remote workforce capabilities and assisting California in achieving its ambitious goals for heat pump installation. \nOur Quick Start Grant recipients — Institute of Heating and Air Conditioning Installers and Small Planet Supply — share their findings in Part 1 of our webinar series. \nInstitute of Heating and Air Conditioning Installers (IHACI) will share how they overcame a critical HVAC technician shortage by developing a new diagnostic software tool called Visual Service (VS). that stands in the way of California achieving its ambitious goals for heat pump installation. The VS tool aims to expand the capacity of existing HVAC technicians and reduce the time to train new technicians in the field. Visit our website to learn more about the IHACI Quick Start Grant. \nNext\, Small Planet Supply will discuss their plan to scale decarbonization through the installation of central heat pump water heaters (CHPWHs) by developing a standardized\, modular\, pre-packaged CHPWH to minimize the design requirement\, installation cost\, and challenges inherent to the existing practice. The standardized CHPWH product doesn’t require any customization and is ready for purchase and installation like any other off-the-shelf product. Visit our website to learn more about the Small Planet Supply Quick Start Grant. \nFind out more details about these quick start programs by attending the webinar on Monday\, July 24\, from 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. PT.

SUMMARY:Assembling the Zero-Carbon Home
DESCRIPTION:Zero-carbon homes are on the fast track to mitigate climate change. Using less energy for space conditioning and hot water production throughout the year than conventional duel-fuel systems\, zero-carbon homes are more thermally comfortable than traditional buildings. Zero-carbon homes are not very different than what we are building today. In this class we will learn the jargon\, building materials\, and the technical expectations needed to retrofit or new-build an energy efficient and thermally comfortable zero-carbon home. We will also learn how to examine the building materials we select to get the lowest carbon footprint options and explore the latest rebates there are for converting your existing home to a zero-carbon home.

SUMMARY:TECH Webinar: Enabling Quicker Heat Pump Installations Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Our Quick Start Grant recipients — Barnett Plumbing and New Buildings Institute — share their findings in Part 2 of our webinar series. \nBarnett Plumbing will share how they overcame barriers to heat pump adoption with their gas loaner program\, delivering the immediate need for hot water with a temporary gas loaner water heater until the right electrical work could be completed in the home to install a heat pump water heater. Visit our website to learn more about the Barnett Plumbing Quick Start Grant. \nNext\, New Buildings Institute (NBI) will discuss lessons learned with some of the newest technology on the market – 120-volt plug-in heat pump water heater. This lower voltage technology used in residential spaces could solve a big barrier to adoption because this technology can plug into an existing wall plug. Visit our website to learn more about the NBI Quick Start Grant. \nFind out more details about these quick start programs by attending the webinar on Wednesday\, July 26\, from 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. PT.
