SUMMARY:Avoiding Main Panel Upgrades - Part 1: Understanding & Calculating Loads on Your Main Panel (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:This is part 1 of a 2 part class. \nUnderstanding your main electrical panel is essential for the transition to an electrified home. This session simplifies the components of the main electrical panel in a home. It will explain prescriptive and performance-based load calculations to determine whether a main panel upgrade is necessary. It also covers load management techniques and how power-efficient appliances can reduce demand on the electrical panel.

SUMMARY:Practical Guide to All-Electric Residential Buildings (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Building All-Electric homes is becoming increasingly stronger than ever. These homes are not only cheaper to construct and operate\, but they also offer healthier and more comfortable living environments. Additionally\, they produce roughly half the greenhouse gas emissions compared to mixed fuel homes. The 2025 California energy code is set to accelerate the adoption of All-Electric buildings\, making compliance with energy regulations easier. This class\, led by two experienced instructors who have personally built All-Electric homes\, provides an insider’s perspective on designing and constructing electric homes. The instructors will share examples from their professional work\, address common objections and obstacles\, and offer valuable lessons learned from the field. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the technologies that make All-Electric homes possible\, including Heat Pumps\, Heat Pump Water Heaters\, Induction Cooking\, Heat Pump Clothes Dryers. Join us to explore why All-Electric homes are the future of sustainable living and how they facilitate easier energy code compliance.
