Event Description

Building All-Electric homes is becoming increasingly stronger than ever. These homes are not only cheaper to construct and operate, but they also offer healthier and more comfortable living environments. Additionally, they produce roughly half the greenhouse gas emissions compared to mixed fuel homes. The 2025 California energy code is set to accelerate the adoption of All-Electric buildings, making compliance with energy regulations easier. This class, led by two experienced instructors who have personally built All-Electric homes, provides an insider's perspective on designing and constructing electric homes. The instructors will share examples from their professional work, address common objections and obstacles, and offer valuable lessons learned from the field. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the technologies that make All-Electric homes possible, including Heat Pumps, Heat Pump Water Heaters, Induction Cooking, and Heat Pump Clothes Dryers. Join Southern California Edison to explore why All-Electric homes are the future of sustainable living and how they facilitate easier energy code compliance.

Learning Outcomes: 

• Analyze and compare the advantages of all-electric homes over typical mixed-fuel homes, focusing on aspects such as cost-effectiveness, health benefits, reduced emissions, and overall quality of life
• Identify and describe the key products and systems used in all-electric homes, including heat pumps for space conditioning, heat pump water heaters, induction cooktops, and electric clothes dryers
• Demonstrate how to model all-electric systems for Title 24 compliance
• Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of all-electric designs compared to traditional designs
• Illustrate and compare the application of all-electric systems in single-family homes, multifamily buildings, remodels, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs)
• Explain the quality of life benefits associated with all-electric designs, including improved indoor air quality, enhanced safety, reduced noise levels, and increased convenience
