PART 1- CLEAN ENERGY RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS - KEY SYSTEMS & ENERGY MODELING
Learn how changes to 2019 Title 24 and new technologies are making it preferable to build all-electric residential buildings that are better, faster, safer, and less costly than their dual-fuel counterparts. This two-day class will introduce attendees to the methodologies, key technologies, and systems needed to successfully convert traditional natural gas end uses to electricity. We will compare all-electric energy designs to traditional dual-fuel designs in the California energy modeling software and analyze cost-effectiveness and quality of life reasons to consider all-electric designs.
Learning Outcomes:
Benefits of all-electric buildings in terms of time, money, aggravation, health, and safety.
Key methodologies, technologies, and systems used in all-electric homes (rethinking the roof, passive designs and water systems, heat pumps for space conditioning, heat pump water heaters, induction cooktops, and electric clothes dryers).
How to model all-electric systems for Title 24 compliance.
How the all-electric compliance pathway works in practice prescriptively and performance modeling.
Cost-effectiveness of all-electric designs compared to traditional designs.
Single-family and multifamily examples plus remodels and ADUs.
Advanced topics (supplemental heat strips in heat pumps, radiant heating, etc.
