CSA F280-12 DHL/DHG Analysis: Whole-House and Room-by-Room Approach (Pilot Training)
2026-03-30 11:30 - 2026-03-31 16:00
This is a pilot training open to invited participants only (a registration code will be required during registration).
REAs CAN STEP INTO THE HEAT PUMP GAME!
REAs delivering the EnerGuide Rating System (ERS) and other HOT2000 modelers will gain the ability to perform precise room-by-room heat loss and heat gain calculations for use in both the retrofit and new construction contexts. Using verified software, EAs and other HOT2000 modelers can provide key inputs to the sizing of heating and cooling equipment primarily based on data collected during home energy evaluations, with minimal additional information to be collected.
Upon completing this course, EAs and other HOT2000 modellers will be able to offer this service to homeowners and contractors, providing essential calculations that HVAC professionals can use to size heat pumps accurately. Please note: This course does not cover air distribution design and does not enable EAs and other HOT2000 modellers to select specific heat pumps or make direct sizing recommendations.
Instructor and CACEA member Cooper Le MEA, Sr. Manager – Production and Operations at 4 Elements Integrated Design Ltd., will guide the group through the whole-house and room-by-room F280 processes. At the end of the course, participants will:

Understand why heat loss and gain calculations are needed for existing and new homes.
Understand important definitions and concepts used in heat loss and gain calculations.
Understand the whole‐house and room-by-room heat loss and gain calculation principles and content.
Recognize the similarities and differences between the data used for HOT2000 energy simulation and CSA F280 whole‐house and room-by-room heat loss and gain calculations.
Familiarize with verified software that can use HOT2000 inputs through a case study.
