Rethink Water Heating: Tankless Electric is an Efficient, Zero-Emission Solution
BREAKOUT SPONSORED BY EEMAX - Discover the many ways tankless electric technology saves water and energy with a zero greenhouse gas footprint. This AIA accredited learning unit explores the challenge architects and plumbing design professionals experience when looking to find the right balance between performance and efficiency in water heating systems. A review of plumbing code requirements and insights into specification considerations will be shared. This course will identify types of water heating technologies with a focus on Tankless Electric Water Heater (TEWH) function and design.
Scaling Heat Pump Retrofits: Come for the Efficiency, Stay for the Air Conditioning
Urban Green, NYSERDA and a group of 30 heat pump experts are developing a roadmap for scaling heat pumps in NYC's large multifamily buildings. Financial and technical hurdles have kept archaic fossil fuel systems deeply rooted in multifamily buildings for decades. We have ideas on how to break this cycle and get owners and tenants onboard.
Electrifying Our Small Building Stock: Lessons from the Field
Come see the latest results from the NYSERDA cold climate air source heat pump demonstration. We will report new cost and energy data from 20 whole-building retrofits. At each 1-3 family building, multi-split heat pumps were installed to fully replace fossil fuel heating systems.
Reduce, Recover, Repurpose: Low-Cost Approach to Prepare Your Facility for Electrified Heating and 80% GHG Reductions
Cost-effective carbon neutrality with electrified heating can today be achieved through a three-phased approach that focuses on energy reduction, recovery, and infrastructure repurposing. We will present the results of two detailed analyses to demonstrate our approach to cost-effectively achieving 80% GHG reductions with electrified heating.
Ongoing Operations Support in Multifamily Buildings
Building owners are faced with huge challenges to improve building performance in today’s NYC market. Updating equipment and buildings to operate as “smart buildings” is part of the solution to drive down energy and utility costs. To maximize the investment of smart technology, owners need to...
Commercial HVAC Retrofits in the Age of Electrification
This session will explore replacing existing packaged rooftop units (RTUs) at end of life with Very High Efficiency (VHE) heat or energy recovery ventilation as the dedicated outside air system (DOAS), and heat pumps for heating and cooling. This results in significant energy savings, improved IAQ and health of the building, and happy, comfortable occupants.
Tools for Electrification: EVs, Demand Response, Complete Air Barriers, and DHW
Four tight, impressive mini-presentations: Electric Vehicles: EV Infrastructure from Greenlots; Demand Response from B2Q Associates; Sealing Technology from Aeroseal; and Domestic HW+ Heat Pumps from HIGHMARK NY.
NYC's High Performance Retrofit Program and Resources
Speakers will provide an overview of NYC’s Climate Mobilization Act and the NYC Retrofit Accelerator’s High Performance Track, present new resources for deep energy retrofits including technology primers created specifically for building owners and decision-makers, and provide a case study of an exemplary project that has completed a high performance retrofit project.
