ACI Home Performance Conference 2007

MAM 13N - Analyzing Electric Baseload (In-field)

Monday, April 23, 2007  ·  8:00 AM - 12:00 PM

In many homes there is a significant opportunity to save energy by addressing the year-round uses of electricity. In fact, reducing electric baseload can sometimes be more cost-effective than measures geared to cutting the cost of heating and / or cooling. Using a combination of visual inspection, nameplate information, diagnostic tools, charts, and calculation shortcuts, we will explore and analyze opportunities.
 
By attending this session, participants will
 
  1. Differentiate whole house and baseload use and explore how the family, use patterns, and equipment affect electric consumption
  2. Get hands-on practice using a variety of kWh meters and other diagnostic devices
  3. Evaluate options and prioritize actions to benefit occupants
