Module 1 – Introduction and Why Electrify

Module 1 includes an introduction to the Electrification Feasibility Report training series.  It covers why building owners should electrify, partial vs. full electrification, and discusses the City and County of Denver’s goal to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. It also introduces heat pumps as a possible solution. 

 

Module 2 – Denver Commercial and Multifamily Code Changes

Module 2 discusses Denver commercial and multifamily code changes, including the Energize Denver Ordinance and specifically the existing building electrification requirements that fall under it. Changes to the permitting process for gas space and water heating equipment are covered in detail.   

 

Module 3 – HVAC Systems for Electrification

Module 3 focuses on electrification of HVAC systems, including the most immediate opportunities for electrification, specifically AC and rooftop units, as well as the next electrification opportunities for more complex systems in the future. 

 

Module 4 – Plumbing Systems for Electrification

Module 4 focuses on electrification of plumbing systems, including the most immediate opportunities for electrification, specifically electric resistance tank water heaters, gas tank water heaters, and gas tankless water heaters, as well as the next electrification opportunities for more complex systems in the future. 

 

Module 5 – Electrification Feasibility Report Introduction

Module 5 discusses the Electrification Feasibility Report, which is a screening tool that can be used to assess the feasibility of using an electric heat pump or dual fuel heat pump when replacing gas HVAC or water heating equipment.  The tool compares a like-for-like gas replacement option to a heat pump option based on installed costs, estimated annual energy usage, estimated annual energy cost change, and the social cost of carbon dioxide over the lifetime of the equipment. 

 

Module 6A – Electrification Feasibility Report Demo for HVAC Projects

Module 6A is specific to HVAC installers and contractors who want to complete an EFR for a building owner.  Prior to watching this video, you should have requested and been granted access to the Electrification Feasibility Report tool online.  This instructional video will walk HVAC contractors through the steps to complete and submit an EFR via the tool.

 

Module 6B – Electrification Feasibility Report Demo for Domestic Hot Water

Module 6B is specific to Domestic Hot Water installers who want to complete an EFR for a building owner. Prior to watching this video, you should have requested and been granted access to the Electrification Feasibility Report tool online. This instructional video will walk DHW contractors through the steps to complete and submit an EFR via the tool.
