Building the Future: Electrification Strategies for Contractors and Architects

Electrification is now the leading option for new buildings and major retrofit projects in California. 70+ municipalities have policies to phase out gas appliances and the state aims to have 6 million heat pumps installed by 2030. This will require a major paradigm shift in the way builders, architects, and related professionals approach the market. It also presents a giant opportunity to frame yourself or your business as an electrification expert. In this session, Electrify My Home will discuss this transition and the related business opportunity for specifying and installing well-designed all-electric buildings.

Learning Objectives:

• Explain the importance of comprehensive electrification planning.
• List one reason why commissioning is important for HVAC systems.
• Describe the benefit of keeping ductwork within the building enclosure.
