SUMMARY:Webinar - Heat Pump Mastery: From Design to Commissioning
DESCRIPTION:Join Earth Advantage for this three-part webinar series on how to effectively design\, install and commission air source heat pumps (ASHPs) in residential homes. \nThis series has been developed by and for building industry professionals (builders\, designers\, HVAC contractors\, raters\, and beyond) to better understand ASHP applications and to provide tangible design principles and construction practices that can be integrated into your building process. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\nWhen\nMastering Design Principles Thursday\, November 30 | 8-9AM (+ optional Q&A at 9-9:30AM)\nThe Ultimate Installation Guide Thursday\, December 7 | 8-9AM (+ optional Q&A at 9-9:30AM)\nThe Art of Commissioning Thursday\, December 14 | 8-9AM (+ optional Q&A at 9-9:30AM)\nAttend this ‘Heat Pump Mastery’ webinar series to gain field-tested recommendations from building professionals and ample opportunity for Q&A on the following critical topics: \n  Mastering Design Principles\n     Thursday\, November 30 | 8-9AM (+ optional Q&A)\nTrainers: Bruce Manclark (Earth Advantage) & Greg Davenport (Mitsubishi) \n   The Ultimate Installation Guide\n     Thursday\, December 7 | 8-9AM (+ optional Q&A)\nTrainers: Bruce Manclark (Earth Advantage) & Matt Ryan (Petra Heating & AC) \n   The Art of Commissioning\n     Thursday\, December 14 | 8-9AM (+ optional Q&A)\nTrainers: Bruce Manclark\, Matt Ryan\, Waylon White (Earth Advantage) & Mike Frey (Noyes Development) \nIt’s imperative to highlight that cold climate ASHPs are no longer emerging equipment — they’re mature technologies\, ready and reliable for any climate. Their stellar reputation eliminates prior misconceptions and stands as a testament to their adaptability. \nMoreover\, the efficiency and effectiveness of ASHPs aligns well with advancing energy codes across the NW region and makes them ideal candidates for certifications such as ENERGY STAR and a viable pathway towards unlocking substantial 45L Tax Credits and incentives. \nJoin us to gain info and insights on how to select appropriate heat pump equipment according to your unique project objectives. \nNote: We encourage you to also register and attend the ‘45L Tax Credit: What You Need to Know’ training offered on November 16\, 2023 as a helpful precursor to this webinar series. \nIndividual Session Descriptions\n\nMastering Design Principles \nAs the HVAC landscape rapidly evolves\, air-source heat pumps (ASHP) are at the forefront\, signaling a shift towards sustainable and efficient technologies. This session dives into the intricacies of ASHPs\, aiming to demystify their design principles and ensure proper applications. \nEnter our well-regarded host for the series\, Bruce Manclark\, Senior Technical Advisor at Earth Advantage. An emblem of expertise and wit in the energy efficiency realm\, Bruce’s storied career spans over four decades\, touching 10\,000s of homes through his conservation programs\, energy audits\, and impactful technical training. Renowned for his engaging presentation style\, Bruce combines profound knowledge with liveliness\, making even complex topics engaging and relatable. \nLater in the session\, Greg Davenport from Mitsubishi Electric’s Performance Construction Team\, will take the helm. An authority on energy-efficient Variable Capacity Heat Pump systems\, Greg will shed light on the meticulous system design and equipment selection intrinsic to ASHPs. Attendees will gain valuable insights into essential load calculations\, along with the critical components of Manuals J\, S\, and D. \nJoin us\, under Bruce and Greg’s collective guidance\, to traverse the world of ASHP system design. Equip yourself with knowledge and steer your projects towards a more efficient HVAC future. \nThe Ultimate Installation Guide\nFollowing our first webinar on system design\, this session is dedicated to one of the most critical aspects of HVAC – the installation. A proper installation ensures the longevity and efficiency of the system\, bridging the gap between design and commissioning. \nThis training is a result from collaboration with a group of industry partners\, ensuring a relevant and practical guide to HVAC installation challenges. Bruce Manclark will host our lead speaker\, Matt Ryan of Petra Heating & Cooling\, who is an HVAC contractor with decades of experience. He brings practical insights and solutions to common and complex installation challenges that are relevant to a variety of building industry audiences. \nMatt will cover key areas such as: \n\nOptimal setups for both outdoor and indoor units.\nPiping details\, from choosing the right bend to ensuring solid connections\nEssential start-up procedures to ensure efficient and durable system operation\n\nBenefit from industry-vetted knowledge and Matt’s many years of experience in order to enhance your HVAC installation process. \nThe Art of Commissioning\nOur series concludes with a focus on the pivotal role of heat pump commissioning\, ensuring you have a complete end-to-end understanding of HVAC systems. After considering design and real-world applications\, commissioning is an imperative final step to ensure optimal system operation\, longevity\, and client satisfaction. \nOur veteran hosts\, Bruce Manclark and Matt Ryan\, will once again steer us through this intricate process and provide insights into why commissioning is paramount. Waylon White from Earth Advantage will introduce the RESNET Standard 310 as an alternative pathway to meet ENERGY STAR requirements and unlock the 45L Tax Credit. And\, bringing a final holistic perspective to the table\, Mike Frey of Noyes Development will share a builder’s view on the benefits of a well-commissioned system\, emphasizing ENERGY STAR compliance and the consequential tax credit advantage. \nWith foundational design tools such as Manuals J\, D\, and S serving as the blueprint\, the importance of commissioning centers on verifying the installation adherence to this design. The process goes beyond mere checks; it’s about quality control\, reducing callbacks\, and achieving a heightened standard across the board – from installers and designers to commissioners and verifiers. The end goal? Satisfied customers basking in the efficiency of a well-commissioned system. \nDelving deeper\, Matt will touch upon specific tools integral to commissioning and discuss the: \n\nSignificance of TruFlow plates and manometers in measuring equipment airflow\nRole of velometers for granular room-by-room air assessments\nIndispensability of refrigerant scales\, gauges with temperature clamps\, and thermometers for accurate indoor/outdoor temperature readings\n\nMatt will then elaborate on the differences in commissioning Unitary systems versus Mini Split systems: \n\nUnitary – expect insights into airflow verification\, refrigerant charge validation\, equipment-specific TruFlow tests\, room-by-room balancing\, and more\nMini Split – differentiate between ducted and ductless systems\, shedding light on system charge verifications\, the importance of diligent record-keeping from rough-in to finish\, and the nuances of temperature splits\, among other key processes\n\n\nCEs & Cost\n\nContinuing Education Credits\nAIA LU/HSW: 1 CE per training; 3 CEs total\nOR CCB: 1 CE per training; 3 CEs total\nBPI: 1 CE per training; 3 CEs total\nICC: 0.1 CE per training; 0.3 CEs total\nNATE: 1 CE per training; 3 CEs totalCourse Fee\nNo cost*This training made possible thanks to BetterBuiltNW
