Innovations in building technologies are transforming the ability of homeowners, building operators, and contracting service providers to control energy demand while increasing comfort and energy affordability. However, some markets in the United States have limited penetration of these technologies (electric air source heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, electric vehicle charging systems and battery storage systems) in part due to the lack of workforce understanding of individual and system-level benefits.

This session will share the results of these conversations: the industry’s best practices, barriers, and gaps better to understand the four technologies and their respective market penetration. The ultimate goal of this analysis, and this session, is to provide a framework and guidance to manufacturers, state and local governments, utilities, and others in the building energy industry to effectively train and educate the building workforce to become champions for advanced energy building technologies.

Learning Objectives:

By attending this session, attendees will:
  • Understand the current barriers to better understand how to integrate these technologies into programs.
  • Will have a framework for how to train and educate the building workforce effectively
  • Learn about opportunities in the market to drive toward electrification
