As electrification requirements evolve, learn how to evolve with them. Build the know-how to evaluate electric systems, maximize project benefits, make electrification pencil, and carry strong designs through construction.
This four-part learning series is designed for small-scale residential developers and their teams working on new construction and rehabilitation projects of 2–10 units. Whether you are new to electrification or looking for a refresher, you will gain practical knowledge you can apply throughout the development process.

Learn how whole-house energy calculations and consulting resources can help you evaluate options and maximize project value. Explore current and future regulations, how to find and evaluate an energy analysis consultant, building performance, resident utility costs, and whole-house energy calculations.
