Smart Home Load Control

Design Your Solar Roof – Timed & Monitored Recorded Webinar

Author: John Cromer

In this timed and monitored recorded webinar, you will learn how smart technology building fundamentals improve home and business within the context of code, health, safety, and welfare. Apply the knowledge to design a local electricity controller to understand how electrical control systems can shape a local electric grid.

Digital load controls offer many benefits to onsite renewables and battery storage through energy automations. Learn component selection tips while learning how to design and assemble an electricity management controller.

This class will cover fundamentals of smart technologies, exploring the safety and security risks of cloud verses local smart hubs, providing a technical review of various internet-of-things technologies. This is an introductory course designed for experienced building professionals, essential for any architect, engineer, project manager, or contractor interested in adding digital electric controls to their existing skillset.

No prior programming or industry experience is necessary, but this is no ordinary introduction. Even modest smart load controllers can result in cost savings and demand benefits to commercial and residential buildings, offering utility rate optimization during normal operation, and assisting backup power systems during a grid outage. In two hours, you will understand terms and components, as well as how complete a small electric load control project.
