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:Cost-Effective Approaches for Energy Efficient Remodels
DESCRIPTION:There are 82 million detached single-family homes in the US\, and according to the US Energy Information Administration\, there are 6.8 million in California. The average cost of energy in US households is about $2\,060 per year according to Energy Star with nearly half of that money going to heating and cooling. The average home also adds 7.5 tons of greenhouse gasses each year. Steve Easley will draw upon his building science consulting experience to illustrate the most cost-effective\, best practices measures to reduce energy use in the home. Steve prioritizes the energy-saving decisions and explains the best products and practices for insulation\, windows\, water heating\, lighting\, and HVAC system.

SUMMARY:Climate Smart Webinar: Home Electrification Service Upgrades
DESCRIPTION:Presented by EFCA Treasurer Sean Armstrong of Redwood Energy: The City of San José\, in partnership with Redwood Energy\, is holding a series of webinars to educate residents\, contractors\, developers\, property owners and managers on a variety of electrification topics. This is Webinar 5: Home Electrification Service Upgrades. Home electrification can sometimes trigger an electric utility service upgrade\, which can cost $2\,500 – $30\,000 and take 2 – 18 months to complete. Come learn what types of properties may need a service upgrade and what is involved in an upgrade. We’ll also discuss how to avoid an upgrade with energy efficiency\, 120V appliances\, clipping solar inverters\, and load balancing “smart” plugs\, subpanels\, and whole house panels. With a little planning you can save a great deal of time and money.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Variable Capacity Heat Pumps\, Improved Comfort and Energy Efficiency
DESCRIPTION:This content offers an introduction to variable capacity heat pumps (VCHP) for contractors who are not yet familiar with this type of HVAC equipment. It begins by defining the type and continues by describing the intended benefits of VCHPs compared to earlier models of heat pumps. Participants take away important knowledge about VCHPs as well as an understanding of where to take their HVAC learning next. They will learn a simple classification strategy to help select the type of VCHP to use on their projects.

SUMMARY:Overcoming Roadblocks to Residential Electrification
DESCRIPTION:Globally\, the scientific community agrees that we must reduce carbon emissions to significantly reduce the impact of global warming. In the US\, buildings account for 40% of carbon emissions. In this class\, Steve Easley focuses on the top roadblocks and solutions for a timelier transition to decarbonization and electrification. For wide scale electrification to happen in a timely manner it will have to happen from the customer side of the meter. This class will address how best to make this a cost-effective reality. The challenge is the localized electrical grid capacity is in no way ready for mass electrification. There simply isn’t enough localized grid storage or grid capacity for homes\, for homes to have electric heat\, water heating\, cooking\, and vehicle charging. This class will address practical solutions. The class will focus on the design\, construction practices\, and technologies that will provide the best pathway for electrification of homes. \n

SUMMARY:Heat Pump Fundamentals: Space Conditioning and Water Heating – Class 5: High Performance Fundamentals Series
DESCRIPTION:This is class 5 of 6 in 3C-REN’s High Performance Fundamentals Certificate series. Earn a 3C-REN certificate of completion after finishing the series and passing short quizzes at the end of each class. This series will be hosted twice throughout 2023. Having gained a solid understanding of high-performance building enclosures from classes 1 through 3 in 3C-REN’s High Performance Fundamentals series\, participants are well-prepared for this class\, which will provide a foundation in the use of heat pumps for both space conditioning (heating and cooling) and water heating. The class will cover what a heat pump is and explain why heat pumps are essential elements of high performance buildings. Special attention will be paid to refrigerants: how heat pumps use them\, how to avoid leaks through proper installation\, and why it’s important to avoid leaks due to the damage they can cause to contractor profitability and the planet. An overview will be provided to aid in selecting\, sizing\, installing\, and commissioning heat pump equipment\, so that it performs as intended.

SUMMARY:Passive House Series: Passive House in California
DESCRIPTION:Our final class in this series will bring this home to cover the evolution of Passive House design here in California. We’ll review up to four specific projects located in Northern California\, including a Sacramento project. Details for each project will be shared to gain an understanding for how this approach varies across our local climate zones\, and how Passive House may be cost-effectively implemented in our region. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how the Passive House approach works in our region and climate.

SUMMARY:Optimizing Residential Forced-Air HVAC Systems: Efficiency Comfort and Low Loss Duct Systems
DESCRIPTION:Improved design\, installation and commissioning practices lead to a dramatic improvement in building energy consumption\, indoor air quality\, and comfort. There are six performance factors that can be applied to HVAC design\, installation and/or commissioning. In the Optimizing Residential Forced-Air series\, we will review how each factor can be specified at design\, implemented during installation\, and tested/adjusted during commissioning. We will also look at how we can redesign our approach to high performance HVAC systems to support CA climate goals\, help manage the peak electrical load on the grid as well as the owners operating cost under the time-of-use billing structure.

SUMMARY:Commissioning Heat Pump Systems: The All Electric Building - Part 5 of 5
DESCRIPTION:Part 5 of 5 – April 21\, 2023 (8:30am – 12:30pm) This training series will focus on the design\, commissioning and operational issues associated with heat pumps and heat pump systems with a focus on how this type of equipment can facilitate electrification of buildings and building systems. The content will be divided into five half-day sessions. Each session will stand alone\, but the different training modules will also be inter-related. Ideally people interested in using heat pumps as part of building electrification projects will attend all five sessions.

SUMMARY:Multifamily Electrification 101
DESCRIPTION:Building electrification is advancing quickly with over 40 California jurisdictions adopting reach codes to advance electrification\, which is critical to meet our local and state goals. In this class\, we will discuss the benefits of electrification and the current policy and code considerations\, provide an overview of what should be considered in an all-electric multifamily project (both new and retrofit)\, and explore technologies for electrification for all end uses\, as well as the role of solar PV and electric vehicles. Come learn about what it takes to have a successful retrofit or new construction multifamily electrification project.
