SUMMARY:

Course Outline: What could be worse than building a house only to find out at the last minute, the electrical service will not meet the demands of the equipment in the home? In an ever-growing need for electrification of building and transportation infrastructure, navigating the technical side of these challenges has become more important than ever. While we can rely on our trade partners to provide the necessary solutions case-by-case, having a general understanding of electrification, electrical infrastructure, and load management/calculations will help you plan and execute your projects effectively, from the ground up.
