SUMMARY:Electrical Design for Part 9 Residential Electrification
DESCRIPTION:Join our speakers\, Ben Giudici from Riverside Energy Systems and Wil Beardmore from Bluewater Energy for a presentation on electrification that tackles one of the biggest hurdles in going all-electric: the electrical service. \nAs more homeowners move away from fossil fuels\, many assume electrification means costly service upgrades. This session will show how smart\, power-efficient electrical design can make Part 9 residential electrification both achievable and affordable. Ben and Wil will cover why electrical design matters\, the key challenges and barriers facing the industry (from CEC service sizing versus utility standards to EMS certification gaps and inconsistent Code interpretation)\, and practical demand-mitigation strategies\, right-sizing air-source heat pumps\, applying CEC 8-106 load management\, and more\, backed by real-world case studies. \nThis event is open to CACEA members only at no charge. \nCACEA CEC = 1
