Free Online Course, All-Electric Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) for Designers and Building Owners, March 13, 10 am - 12 pm
Event Description
All-electric homes are becoming more and more common in California. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are also becoming a common way to house people in California. This session offers a unique opportunity to tour a new 1-bedroom all-electric ADU built above an existing garage in Long Beach, and to see the systems required to build all-electric: heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, induction ranges, heat pump clothes dryers, and a 12-panel PV system.
Plus, this course will cover how this ADU was built using Structural Insulated Panel System (SIPS) and went up in 7 days! As a result of the owner’s focus on the building envelope, the ADU tested at Passivhaus airtightness and features a balanced ventilation system with a Heat Recovery Ventilator. Nick Brown, President of Build Smart Group, is the owner and will speak about the need to electrify homes to meet California’s climate goals.
The objective of this course is that at the conclusion, participants will be able to:
