SUMMARY:IHACI - AC & HP Air Distribution
DESCRIPTION:This eight-part evening series is for HVAC professionals\, from beginners to those with intermediate experience. It covers foundational principles of ducted air distribution systems and processes for Quality Installation (QI)\, Quality Maintenance (QM)\, and Quality Service (QS) for residential and light commercial systems in California. \nWe’ll equip participants with skills to design\, install\, commission\, maintain\, service\, diagnose\, and verify ducted airflow systems\, ensuring they are safe\, reliable\, & energy-efficient. \n6/16\, 6:00-8:15pm \nPart 1: Air distribution in HVAC systems\, duct design\, airflow rates\, velocities\, static pressures\, terminal diffuser/grille types\, & airflow instruments.\nPart 2: Fundamental characteristics of air and the psychrometric chart from the perspective of installers and service technicians.

SUMMARY:Room Heat Pumps 2.0 - Cooling and Heating in a Small Package
DESCRIPTION:As summers continue to get hotter\, more and more people are needing air conditioning to beat the heat. Room heat pumps are low cost\, easy to install products that deliver powerful cooling\, and have the added advantage of providing supplemental heating when the temperatures fall. They come in window-mounted options or portable\, roller style configurations which are easier to move and install. They’re a great way to increase comfort all year long and reduce your reliance on gas or expensive electric baseboard heating. \nSince they are portable\, they’re a wonderful solution for renters. These units are lower cost than full home heat pumps and can be installed DIY by plugging into a 120V outlet. They typically cost $500-700. They provide energy efficient heating and cooling ideal for apartments or single rooms in larger homes. Existing models have been designed to work in mild climates\, but more powerful but more expensive\, cold climate versions are just coming onto the market now. Join us as we dive into the world of room heat pumps with our expert panelists. We will answer the following questions and more: How do they compare to ductless and whole house heat pumps? What are the configurations available? How do you install and use them? What are the ideal use cases for room heat pumps? What are some of the practical considerations of using a room heat pump? What has research shown about their effectiveness? Are rebates and incentives available to help lower the cost? What are some of the top models available? What cold climate models are available and how do they compare? What models are on the horizon? How do I shop for a room heat pump? We’ll see you on June 18th as we dive inside the portable\, climate-friendly heating and cooling solution that renters have been waiting for!

SUMMARY:What Were They Thinking?! A Home Performance Game Show
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a first-ever game show-style webinar that’s equal parts shocking\, educational\, and just a little hilarious. Join The LEARN Program and our panel as we reveal real-life examples of poor workmanship\, shortcuts\, and head-scratching installation fails that’ll have you saying\, “What were they thinking?!” We’ll laugh (a little)\, learn (a lot)\, and dig into the real consequences of cutting corners in the field – and how these seemingly small mistakes undermine our energy efficiency goals. This webinar will serve as a great reminder as to why we do what we do and what happens when you make strikingly obvious mistakes in a customer’s home. We’re excited to bring the first-ever gameshow-style webinar to BPI and hope to see you there!
