Stop Guessing and Start Using F280-12
Learn how to collect data for heat load calculations for heat pump installations.
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.
For HVAC contractors, energy advisors, builders, building officials, and other building professionals.
