SUMMARY:Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we discuss how upgrading packaged terminal air conditioners to high efficiency packaged terminal heat pumps (PTHPs) can revolutionize multi-family energy use. In this webinar we will dive into the advantages and disadvantages of PTHPs\, their applications for both new construction and retrofits\, and the growing size of this emerging market. \n\n\n\nHeating and cooling systems are one of the biggest costs\, and source of emissions\, for multifamily properties. Join us as we discuss how upgrading packaged terminal air conditioners (PTACs) to high efficiency packaged terminal heat pumps (PTHPs) can revolutionize energy use in apartment buildings\, hotels\, and assisted living facilities. These self-contained units are installed below windows inside living spaces\, providing efficient heating and cooling. \nThis webinar will explore the advantages and disadvantages of PTHPs\, their applications for both new construction and retrofits\, and the size of this emerging market. Learn how PTHPs\, with advanced inverter technology and variable speed fans\, provide the same in-unit temperature control and outside air as PTACs\, while using up to 70% less energy. We’ll also discuss the quick and straightforward installation process\, which makes PTHPs a compelling\, cost-effective solution for property owners seeking to improve energy efficiency and tenant comfort. Finally\, we’ll explore efforts to bring PTHPs to colder climates with models that can work in temperatures well below zero. \nPlease join us on Wednesday\, March 12th to learn more about these simple high-efficiency units that can provide sizeable benefits. \n\n

SUMMARY:Resources for High-Efficiency Electrification Technology Training
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us for DOE BENEFIT’s webinar showcasing eight updated building electrification guides to help you navigate building construction and renovation regulations. \n\n\n\n\n\nWe invite you to join us for an exciting webinar marking the end of the Buildings Energy Efficiency Frontiers & Innovation Technologies (BENEFIT) project funded by DOE. Discover net zero resources for electrification and space and water heating designed specifically to empower you in making informed decisions about your building design\, construction\, and operations. From heat pump water heaters to air-to-air heat pumps\, we have you covered with checklists\, guides\, and more. \nRegister today and stay ahead of the curve as we provide an overview of eight updated building electrification guides to help you navigate building construction and renovation regulations. \n1. Heat Pump Water Heater Permitting and Inspection Checklist \n2. Heat Pump Space Heating Permitting & Inspection Checklist \n3. Electrification Checklist for Home Energy Auditors \n4. Home Electrification and Electric Panel Considerations \n5. Air-to-Air Heat Pumps for Space Conditioning \n6. Sizing Multi-Family Electric Water Heating Swaps \n7. Design Considerations for Electric Heating Swaps in Multi-Family Buildings \n8. Making the Transition to All-Electric Buildings: A Design Guide \nWho should attend: Designers\, building officials\, installing contractors\, homeowners\, and anyone interested in building electrification. \nWith the aim of closing the competency gaps for building professionals\, this Resources for High-Efficiency Electrification Technology Training webinar will equip you to adapt to the fast-paced changes in technology aimed at advancing energy efficiency. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to enhance your skills and knowledge to excel in the best design and construction practices. Join us in shaping the building industry’s future—secure your spot today! \nSpeaker:\nGrant Sheely\, Technical Associate\, New Buildings Institute \nGrant is a technical associate on the codes and policy team. He has experience managing sustainability and certification projects as well as contributing to corporate environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) strategy. With a BA from Oberlin College in mathematics and physics with a minor in environmental studies\, Grant brings our team a blend of analytical and environmental expertise. Prior to joining NBI\, Grant coordinated LEED\, PHIUS\, and Fitwel Certification projects\, performing field inspections\, energy modeling with WUFI Software\, and compliance with high-performance program requirements and local/state codes.
