As jurisdictions across the country consider electrification policy, industry understanding of their electric options for heating and cooling is increasingly important. 

Attendees of this course will learn the benefits of innovative electric heating and cooling technologies, for examples:

• Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions from the building sector as a result of displacing natural gas, propane combustion and oil heating.
•  Increases in electrical efficiency as a result of replacing using innovative systems such as ductless minisplits and ground source heat pumps
• Utility bill savings for ratepayers as a result of technology efficiencies and the ability to shift electric consumption to parts of the day when renewable energy resources are abundant and electricity prices are lowest.
• Concepts such as dual-fuel heating and cold climate heat pumps.
• Attendees will be familiarized with the various types of heating and cooling systems.
