ACEEE: Energy Efficiency as a Resource

DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia, PA, United States

Utility energy efficiency programs have a strong record of saving customers energy and money. But today’s urgent challenges—from climate change to inequitable energy burdens—demand that we ramp up these efficiency efforts and reimagine what these programs are capable of, building on the strong foundations in place. Join us at the Energy Efficiency as Resource (EER) conference in Philadelphia, October 16–18, 2023, to explore how efficiency efforts can expand and evolve amid a transforming utility industry.

Commissioning Heat Pump Systems: Fundamentals and System Types – Fall

Part 1 of 5 - October 17, 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

Remodeling—A Great Time to Improve Efficiency and Electrify

This class is intended to equip homeowners planning remodeling projects to work effectively with their design and building team to incorporate high-performance goals of efficiency, comfort, electrification, etc.—and avoid common pitfalls. Managing even a simple project can be challenging enough, but when you’re targeting high performance, it takes extra care to make sure you get the results you hope for. This talk will cover: Definitions and benefits of high performance, efficiency, electrification, solar, and batteries A quick introduction to State

Case Studies: Sequential Pathways to Zero-Carbon Homes

Ever think, “I cannot afford to convert my home into a zero-carbon home? It’s too much to think about or learn all at one time!” Instructor Terry Nordbye will present key elements of a zero-carbon home and how to plan a long-term strategy to decarbonize your home. This session unpacks the project history of two heavy carbon emission homes and how they were converted to zero-carbon homes over a period of 12 years.

Commissioning Heat Pump Systems: Existing Buildings – Fall

Part 4 of 5 - October 25, 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 four-half day sessions. Each session will stand alone, but the different training modules will also be inter-related.

Optimizing Residential Forced-Air HVAC Systems: Load Calculations, Equipment Selection, System Airflow and Layout

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 California climate goals,
