SUMMARY:More Than One Brand In The Hand: Application Specific HPWH Design
DESCRIPTION:Register \nEvent Description \nAs California accelerates its push toward electrification\, heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) are playing a critical role in driving efficient and clean water heating solutions. However\, not all HPWHs are created equal—and not every brand is suited for every home. \nThis webinar equips participants with the knowledge to make smart\, scenario-specific choices when selecting HPWHs. We’ll begin with a brief overview of why HPWH deployment is a state priority\, then explore the key factors that differentiate products—such as noise levels\, ducting requirements\, physical location constraints\, electrical panel capacity\, and more. \nThe session concludes with an exercise exploring real-world installation scenarios—including garages\, basements\, indoor closets\, outdoor closets\, outdoor tankless replacements\, and attics. Attendees will learn to identify which HPWH models are best suited to each condition\, reinforcing the need for a multi-brand approach to successful system design. \nLearning Objectives \n\nUnderstand California’s policy drivers for HPWH adoption.\nIdentify key features that distinguish HPWH products across manufacturers.\nApply scenario-based reasoning to select optimal HPWHs for various home installation conditions.\n\nLearning Units \n\n1.5 AIA LUs approved for this course\n0.15 ICC LUs approved for this course\n\nInstructor \nLarry Waters\, Electrify My Home \nCourse Location \nZoom link provided upon registration
