Stop Guessing and Start Using F280-12

The Community Energy Association accelerates bold action by local governments and Indigenous communities related to climate and energy. CEA grew from a committee established by the Government of BC and the Union of BC Municipalities in the 1990s and was incorporated as a non-profit in 2003.Today, CEA’s members and staff live in communities large and small and bring their collective expertise, experiences, commitment to Truth and Reconciliation, and passion to help lower local emissions and build healthy, resilient communities.

Learn how to collect data for heat load calculations for heat pump installations

HVAC contractors, energy advisors, builders, building officials, and other building professionals:When you’re trying to ensure a home has the right amount of space heating and cooling capacity, a rule of thumb approach won’t cut it anymore. Especially when you are installing a heat pump.Find out exactly how much heating and cooling capacity a home needs by completing an F280-12 calculation.The Canadian Standards Association’s F280-12 standard is a BC Building Code recognized method for calculating heat loss and heat gain.In this webinar, you will gain a clear understanding of what data is required to conduct an F280-12 calculation and how to gather it effectively in both retrofit and new build contexts.The BC Building Code requires F280-12 calculations when sizing equipment for new homes. Increasingly, municipalities are enforcing this code requirement.Make sure you understand how to collect data for F280-12 calculations with this first of a two-part webinar series.<h3>Notes</h3>Event is free of charge, but you must pre-register.If you can't attend the webinar - no problem!
