This course introduces the ingredients of a good electrification plan and shows participants how to produce one. Trainers will start by demonstrating how to gather critical data from a home, including utility data, key photos, measurements and homeowner preferences. Next, participants will learn how to use that data, combined with load calculations (covered in the previous class), to select the best equipment for each end use in a home. Finally, trainers will show how to pull all of the pieces
