SUMMARY:Webinar - Real World Energy Conservation by Controlling Resistive Heating Elements
DESCRIPTION:Real World Energy Conservation by Controlling Resistive Heating Elements\nDetails\nNew technology uses a recently patented method to thermostatically control resistive type heating elements\, such as found in many high wattage (previously un-controlled) applications including: vehicle/equipment block heaters (commercial & residential); livestock water tank heaters; pipe heating tape and many other applications. It is a small (about the size of a brick) universal plug-and-play device\, with no installation required\, and it can be mounted to a fixed surface if desired (or required). \nThe Power Badger® is an established and active public utility measure with a multi-year proven track record of kWh savings\, successfully implemented in residential\, commercial/industrial and agricultural markets\, with an average energy savings credit of 1540 kWh (per unit\, per year) by several utilities. Average ratepayer savings of 6-7million kWh claimed by utilities (each year) over the last two years\, just by implementing the Power Badger as an active measure. Multiple “White Papers” and independent studies are available to bolster the kWh savings claims of The Power Badger®. \nPopular applications for this measure include: \n\nResidential ratepayers use The Power Badger on their diesel pickup trucks\, generators and equipment at home. • Commercial / Industrial / Municipalities: Diesel Fleet Vehicles; Package delivery\, Garbage\, Heavy Equipment. • Agricultural: Tractors\, Farm Equipment\, Livestock Tank Heaters\, Pipe Tape/Wrap\, Pad Heaters • School Systems: Bus Fleets • Municipal / State / Federal / Government Agencies / Airports / Railways / Bus Fleets • Military: Reduces Energy Usage at Fixed Bases and when Using Generators in Remote Areas • General Aviation: Piston Engine Heaters / Pads / Battery Blankets\n\n  \nPresenter: Jeff Aiello\, Bostic Motors\, Inc. \n\nTue\, Aug 19\n\n\n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM PDT\n\n\n\nOnline event\n\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Webinar - Distributed Pumping for Commercial HVAC Systems
DESCRIPTION:Distributed Pumping for Commercial HVAC Systems\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\nGrundfos Distributed Pumping is a hydronic system design that optimizes the entire HVAC system while improving occupant comfort. It replaces energy wasting balance and control valves in HVAC systems with intelligent\, reliable and maintenance-free pumps that generate pressure only when and where it’s needed. Removing the balancing and control valves and replacing them with small horsepower intelligent pumps has multiple HVAC system benefits: a) significantly reduces the time consuming and costly process of balancing the HVAC system; b) also ensures a continuously balanced HVAC system years later; c) reduction of pumping energy required by 55% or more; and d) better Delta T control. This also translates to improved building comfort. \n  \nSpeaker: Mike Madsen\, Grundfos CBS\, Inc. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\nTue\, Jul 01\n\n\n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM PDT\n\n\n\nOnline event\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Webinar - Empowering Meaningful Measurement & Verification with EcoDash: A standardized tool for HPWH M&V
DESCRIPTION:Empowering Meaningful Measurement & Verification with EcoDash: A standardized tool for HPWH M&V\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\nAs new commercial Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) products enter the market\, monitoring their field performance is critical to ensure proper design\, installation\, and maintenance\, and that energy savings are actualized. EcoDash\, Ecotope’s online data viewing tool\, provides a standardized\, open-source platform for sharing measurement and verification (M&V) data aligned with the Advanced Water Heating Specification guidelines. EcoDash is both a research tool and a means to communicate performance metrics project stakeholders to help them make meaningful comparisons across different installations. While M&V plays a critical role in enhancing product performance\, informing design guidance\, and advancing industry standards\, its complexity necessitates a standardized approach. EcoDash incorporates standards set by the Advanced Water Heating Specification and enables users to visualize minute-by-minute operational data\, assess system performance\, and proactively identify when a system may need maintenance or control adjustments. EcoDash’s strategies are designed to accelerate industry advancements from M&V and promote a cohesive approach to measurement and verification. This session will showcase examples of HPWH system improvements that were identified using EcoDash and demonstrate how it is currently being used to assess system performance and test load shifting strategies in central HPWH plants. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\nTue\, Jun 24\n\n\n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM PDT\n\n\n\nOnline event\n\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Webinar - Low-Load Efficiency Heat Pump Performance
DESCRIPTION:NEEA Product Council\nLow-Load Efficiency Heat Pump Performance\nDetails\nThis Product Council presents NEEA’s 2023-4 research investigating variable speed system performance at low-load conditions during mild weather conditions. Low-load efficiency is one of the no/low-cost market shifts we are pursuing at NEEA\, which we believe can generate a 5% gain of fleet-wide performance. The truth is that not all variable speed heat pumps perform well when at low-load conditions. Most of this is because the heat pump control algorithms are designed for specific conditions. The good news is these control algorithms can be modified to generate COPs greater than 4.5 during mild weather conditions\, which are the bulk of all operating hours. The bad news is that there are two issues that need to be addressed to ensure real world performance gains are achieved. The presentation will cover data\, analysis and methods for ensuring low-load efficiency of variable speed heat pumps. \nPresenters: Christopher Dymond (NEEA) and JJ Sawicki (TRC) \n\nTue\, Mar 25\n\n\n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM PDT\n\n\n\nOnline event\n\nREGISTER HERE
