SUMMARY:Electrify Efficiently: Electrical Panel Assessments - Examples for Heat Pump Installers (3 of 6)
DESCRIPTION:Course description\n\n\n\n\n\nPart 3 of 6 – May 6\, 2025 (12pm – 1:30pm) \nAs more California homeowners begin electrifying their homes\, heat pump installers will be faced with the challenge of navigating electrical panel challenges including condition\, capacity\, fitment\, supply chain\, etc. With panel and service upgrades being costly and complex\, it’s important for practitioners to understand their options for running new circuits. In this session\, you’ll hear from Electrify My Home discuss real-world electrical panel scenarios including visual assessments\, electrical load calculations\, and examples of different solutions to make it work. \nAgenda: \n\nIntroduction and safety message\nGood electrification and install small\nPanel assessments and strategies for overcoming challenges\nPerforming a load calculation\nQ&A\n\nThe objective of this course is that at the conclusion\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain why a full panel doesn’t necessarily mean no additional capacity is available\nName two reasons why upgrading a home’s electrical capacity may not be preferred\nList two solutions to fitting new circuits into a panel where no physical space is available\nIdentify at least two or more critical components and variables of performing a load calculation in a residential home

SUMMARY:Electric Heat Pumps for Space Heating and Cooling
DESCRIPTION:Course description\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs our electricity supply becomes cleaner due to increased use of renewable’s for generation along with a growing number of local ordinances prohibiting installs in new homes\, electricity becomes an attractive fuel source to designers and builders interested in reducing residential greenhouse gas emissions and creating zero net energy buildings. \nDan Perunko of Balance Point Home Performance will present on efficiency gains and emissions reductions from electric heat pumps in new and existing buildings and will cover the advantages and limitations of these systems\, the available technology and refrigerant types. Discussion will touch on interactions with indoor air quality issues and building enclosure considerations. \nThe objective of this course is that at the conclusion\, participants will be able to: \n– Identify the benefits of ducted and ductless space heating heat pump systems \n– Describe the potential benefits of HVAC-driven filtration and indoor air quality \n– Summarize the performance parameters for proper installation of electric heat pumps \n– Describe climate impacts from the release of refrigerants into the atmosphere and the procedures to ensure that systems don’t leak \n– Interpret energy savings comparisons among existing equipment types in order to determine the total annual energy consumption for the equipment under consideration
