Batteries: Options and implementation for a building’s energy storage system

Whether you’re interested in resiliency and cost savings for a home or simply meeting energy codes for new construction, understanding battery storage is increasingly important for the building industry. In this course, we’ll go over battery types, what’s currently available and what’s on the horizon, how to size a battery for code compliance or other goals, and what to look for in implementation.

Learning objectives:

• Understand different battery types and their applications for buildings
• Know the process for sizing batteries and when they are required
• Review cost implications for battery use when paired with on-site renewable energy
• Understand practical integration of batteries into project design and construction
