Upcoming Webinar: Heat Pump Water Heaters (HPWH) and the Energy Code

With local and statewide efforts to encourage all-electric construction, heat pump water heaters are becoming an increasingly critical tool for design professionals.

In Balance Green Consulting’s Jennifer Rennick and Amy Dryden of the Association for Energy Affordability will be presenting a webinar on all things heat pump on Tuesday, August 31, 9-10:30am.

They’ll walk through the basics of heat pump water heaters (HPWH) for homes and provide critical compliance information for the California Energy Code 2019 Residential Standards. Discussion will cover why we are seeing HPWHs in the code now, how they are different from other types of water heaters, and highlight the benefits and some potential constraints. They will also review how designers, builders, installers, and code officials would document a HPWH for Energy Code compliance, with specific focus on single family homes or where one HPWH serves one dwelling. Bring your questions!

This program is supported by 3C-REN (Tri-County Regional Energy Network).
