SUMMARY:Electrification & Home Performance Series: 8 - Water Conservation & Home Performance (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nBuilding electrification replaces fossil fuel systems with electric alternatives. As California shifts to all-electric homes\, understanding home performance is essential. Key factors like energy efficiency\, air-sealing\, and insulation reduce energy use\, improve air quality\, and increase comfort. High performance homes use less energy\, making electrification smoother and more sustainable. \nThis class is the eighth in a series on Electrification & Home Performance and covers the methods and products for water conservation and how these benefit home owners as they move towards heat pump water heaters. \nEnhance your knowledge with a single class or complete the series for a thorough understanding of the relationship between home performance and electrification.
