BCIT – XZEB 1150 – Introduction to Solar Photovoltaic & Electrical Systems for Zero Energy & Passive House Homes
This introductory course focuses on integrated solar photovoltaic (PV) and electrical systems in Zero Energy or Passive House homes. The course will outline the decision-making for planning, designing, and constructing/renovating a Zero Energy home with integrated solar PV and electrical systems. It applies “lessons learned” from case studies of Zero Energy homes equipped with solar PV technology. Key topics include critical elements of a design-build process, pre-design considerations and requirements, future-proofing for new technologies and electrical circuit load capacity, equipment and monitoring options, and hand-off best practices.
This course is eligible under the Essentials of Net Zero and Passive House Construction microcredential for free tuition this fall for the StrongerBC Future skills training grant on a first-come-first serve basis.
