REAs CAN STEP INTO THE HEAT PUMP GAME! 

REAs delivering the EnerGuide Rating System (ERS) and other HOT2000 modelers will gain the ability to perform precise room-by-room and whole-house heat loss and heat gain calculations for use in both the retrofit and new construction contexts. Using verified software, EAs and other HOT2000 modelers can provide key inputs to the sizing of heating and cooling equipment primarily based on data collected during home energy evaluations, with minimal additional information to be collected. 

Upon completing this course, EAs and other HOT2000 modellers will be able to offer this service to homeowners and contractors, providing essential calculations that HVAC professionals can use to size heat pumps accurately. Please note: This course does not cover air distribution design and does not enable EAs and other HOT2000 modellers to select specific heat pumps or make direct sizing recommendations.

Instructor and CACEA member Liam Butters, Owner of Ecology Consulting, will guide the group through the whole-house and room-by-room F280 processes. At the end of the course, participants will:

  • Understand why heat loss and gain calculations are needed for existing and new homes.
  • Understand important definitions and concepts used in heat loss and gain calculations.
  • Understand the whole‐house and room-by-room heat loss and gain calculation principles and content.
  • Recognize the similarities and differences between the data used for HOT2000 energy simulation and CSA F280 whole‐house and room-by-room heat loss and gain calculations.
  • Familiarize with verified software that can use HOT2000 inputs through a case study.

REGISTRATION

CRITERIA FOR REAs:

  • A “Full” category CACEA member OR a non-CACEA member REA who completed D&E files and modelled 15 homes onsite tested under an NRCan program (ERS, EnergyStar, R2000 or NetZero - D&E; P&N) which is SO validated OR put forward by CACEA Full Member in good standing.

  • NON-MEMBER REQUIREMENTS: $1 million Errors and Omissions Insurance and a signed SO confirmation letter (annually). (USE THIS LETTER ) Must upload the proof of coverage and letter to the registration form.
CRITERIA FOR OTHER HOT2000 MODELLERS:

  • 1 full year of HOT2000 modelling.

  • $1 million Errors and Omissions Insurance. Must upload the proof of coverage to the registration form.

    ADDITIONAL COURSE INFORMATION:

    • To ensure participants are familiar with the Volta SNAP Tool, prework will be sent a week prior to the training and reviewed at the start of Day 1 training. 
    • Participants will work through a case study and complete an independent exercise using SNAP.
    • Use a full-size monitor, preferably two. Working primarily from an iPad or laptop monitor is not ideal).
