ZNCD: All-Electric Design & Construction Series – Day 1

October 10 @ 8:00 am - 11:00 am

Register

This is an in-person course, provided in partnership with the AIA California Central Coast Chapter. 

8:30 AM – 11:00 AM 

Doors open at 8:00 AM for coffee, snacks and networking 

Event Description

On the path to Zero Net Carbon Design, building electrification is the key to reducing operational carbon. In this course, we’ll share the nuts and bolts of incorporating all-electric systems into residential and small commercial projects, including tips for implementation as well as client communication. We’ll provide straightforward information on current systems and technologies plus a look ahead at what’s emerging in the market.

This series has been developed to fulfill the California requirement for five hours of ZNCD education as part of architecture license renewal. Although created with architects in mind, the content is broadly applicable across the building industry. 

Learning Objectives

  • Learn the ‘why’ behind California’s shift to building electrification and the link to Zero Net Carbon Design 
  • Learn the pros and cons of various products to help in selecting appropriate systems that meet electrification and carbon-reduction goals 
  • Learn critical installation details such as dimensions and venting to call out in plans and/or identify early in construction 
  • Understand the local market for specific all-electric/ZNCD equipment, including cost, availability and lead times. 

Agenda

  • October 10, 2024
    • Part 1: Carbon Reduction through Building Electrification will address California’s targets for carbon reduction, status of the clean power grid, the role of energy storage and emerging options for refrigerants. 
    • Part 2: ZNCD for Heat Pumps for heating and cooling will address ducted and ductless heat pumps for thermal comfort.  
    • Part 3a: ZNCD for Domestic Hot Water will focus on integrated and split-system Heat Pump Water Heaters, as well as combination systems and point-of-use electric resistance water heaters  

 

  • November 7, 2024
    • Part 3b: ZNCD for Domestic Hot Water will focus on integrated and split-system Heat Pump Water Heaters, as well as combination systems and point-of-use electric resistance water heaters
