All-Electric Design & Construction Series (ZNCD)

In Balance Green Consulting is pleased to present a two-part education course entitled All-electric Design and Construction. The classes are in person in San Luis Obispo.

On the path to Zero Net Carbon Design, building electrification is the key to reducing operational carbon. In this in-person 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 straight-forward information on current systems and technologies, plus a look ahead at what’s emerging in the market. 

Day 1 - October 10, 2024 (8:30 AM - 11:00 AM)

  • Overview: Carbon Reduction through Building Electrification 

  • ZNCD for Heat Pumps for heating and cooling

Learning Objectives include:

  • 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
