All-Electric Retrofits With Electrical Panel Constraints

October 9 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Register

Event Description

The building industry will need to electrify buildings at a fast pace if cities and counties are to meet their goals for reducing Carbon emissions. One of the obstacles commonly cited for keeping status quo gas systems in place is limited space in the electric panel serving the building. We will cover how electric panels are sized according to the electrical code and demonstrate tools to double-check those calculations. Options for making existing electric panels work will be covered, including circuit sharing devices, innovative solutions for HVAC, clothes washing, hot water, cooking, EV charging, PV and battery systems. Often the existing electrical panel is adequate for a fully electric home, and we will equip attendees with the knowledge to evaluate this key decision for themselves.

Learning Objectives

  • Learn and apply tools to calculate electric panel size according to the electrical code
  • Options for electrifying with limited electric panel space and service
  • Explore real-world case studies to better understand the challenges and solutions
