SUMMARY:BayREN C&S Training: How the Energy Code Treats Electrification
DESCRIPTION: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 different electrification technologies. Topics Covered: Discuss the current electrification landscape\, learn about common technologies under an all -electric design\, understand the opportunities to reduce emissions and how the 2022 Energy Code and other codes applies to all electric buildings.

SUMMARY:Home Electrification Planning – Class 1: Soup to Nuts
DESCRIPTION:As California makes the transition to electrification\, careful planning will be crucial for existing buildings. This three-part series will cover the importance of electrification planning\, how to optimize existing electrical capacity to avoid costly and often unnecessary panel upgrades\, selecting the most efficient equipment that will keep homeowners comfortable and happy\, and putting together a comprehensive\, detailed\, and customized plan that will set homeowners and contractors up for success. The best way to achieve a desired outcome is to create a plan for getting there. This first webinar of the series will focus on what an electrification plan is\, why it is important\, and how it is done. It will also cover two methods for calculating heating loads to properly size a HVAC system.

SUMMARY:Heat Pump Dryers - Update on Brands and Options
DESCRIPTION: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 us for a mini-webinar with appliance guru Steve Sheinkopf from Yale Appliances who will walk us through all the heat pump dryer models available and talk about their costs\, benefits and drawbacks\, and whether the new combo washer/dryers will change how we do laundry. \nPanelists : Steve Sheinkopf – CEO\, Yale Appliance. Yale Appliances is one of our country’s oldest and most sophisticated appliance dealers with a wealth of experience with induction products and fantastic resources for consumers\, a dedication to customer service and experience with all major appliance brands.

SUMMARY:Home Electrification Planning – Class 2: Panel Optimization
DESCRIPTION:As California makes the transition to electrification\, careful planning will be crucial for existing buildings. This three-part series will cover the importance of electrification planning\, how to optimize existing electrical capacity to avoid costly and often unnecessary panel upgrades\, selecting the most efficient equipment that will keep homeowners comfortable and happy\, and putting together a comprehensive\, detailed\, and customized plan that will set homeowners and contractors up for success. Despite popular beliefs\, increasing panel capacity in order to electrify a home is not always necessary. Many homes can be fully electrified on existing panel capacity if the panel space is optimized. The second webinar of the series will focus on determining the existing load\, incorporating planned electrification upgrades\, and optimizing existing electrical panel capacity\, which will save homeowners from having to make costly upgrades\, and protect the grid from being overburdened and requiring major infrastructure upgrades.
