SUMMARY:Designing Heat Pump Retrofits That Won’t Come Back to Haunt You (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Course Description: (Online / 2:00pm – 4:00pm Pacific Time) \nVariable capacity heat pumps aren’t the future anymore. Top contractors have been installing them for years. But the challenges are real: the comfort complaint in February\, the humidity problem in July\, the electric bill the homeowner didn’t expect. Almost all trace back to a decision made during the design process. This session walks through the mistakes that cause them\, and how to catch each one before the equipment is installed\, covering the Manual J loads\, Total External Static Pressure\, and Manual S “advanced” procedures to variable capacity equipment. \nInstructor: Eric Fitz – Co-Founder\, Amply Energy (maker of ACCA-approved heat pump design software) – and ACCA Manual J Technical Committee Member \n  \nLearning Outcomes/Objectives: \n\nIdentify the Manual J input assumptions that most affect the load\nLearn two-minute field checks to verify key Manual J inputs\nMeasure total external static pressure to determine whether an existing duct system can support a new heat pump\nLocate design airflow and true capacity in manufacturer extended performance tables\nApply Manual S advanced procedures to variable capacity equipment\nEvaluate equipment selection trade-offs to choose the right size for the home (e.g.\, auxiliary heat\, low-load cycling\, design airflow\, and operating cost)\n\nTarget Audience: \n\nHVAC Contractors (Owner Operators)\nHVAC System Designers / Comfort Advisors\nHVAC/R Contractors (Installers / Technicians)\nHome Performance and Electrification Contractors\nConsulting Engineers / Designers\nHVAC/R Instructors\n\n  \nLearning Units: NATE CEUs apply (2 hr. credit) \n  \nLearning Level: \nIntermediate Class: Content is appropriate for individuals who possess a fundamental understanding of the topic and have familiarity with basic terminology and methodology of the subject matter. Attendees should have the capacity to participate in instructor-led exercises requiring synthesis and application of concepts. \nSpecial Instructions: \nThis is a Webinar class held via Microsoft Teams; internet access is required and use of the Teams app is encouraged. Customers will receive a link to the Webinar prior to the event. \nFor more information on Amply Energy\, contact a representative below: \nEric Fitz – efitz@amply.energy \nVisit Amply Energy at www.amply.energy
