This transition is creating increasing press ure on electrical design\, building service capacity\, and utility infrast ructure\, particularly in dense urban environments and existing buildings. \n\nThis discussion will explore how electrical systems can be designed mo re efficiently to support continued electrification while managing capacit y\, cost\, constructability\, and connection challenges. Topics will inclu de power-efficient electrical design\, service sizing\, load management\, utility connections\, infrastructure constraints\, and opportunities to ma ke better use of available electrical capacity.\n\nBringing together persp ectives from electrical consulting\, municipal planning\, and utility dist ribution\, the discussion will examine how designers\, municipalities\, ut ilities\, developers\, and other stakeholders can work together to accommo date growing electrical loads without relying solely on increasingly large r electrical services and infrastructure upgrades.\n\nThe session will als o look ahead at how electrical design practices\, policies\, utility proce sses\, and emerging technologies may need to evolve as BC continues toward a more electrified built environment.\n\nSpeaker(s): Steven Nemetz\, Chri s Higgins\, Jason Rowley\n\nRoom: KAIS 2020\, Bldg: Fred Kaiser Building\, 2332 Main Mall\, Vancouver\, British Columbia\, Canada\, V6T 1Z4 LOCATION:Room: KAIS 2020\, Bldg: Fred Kaiser Building\, 2332 Main Mall\, Va ncouver\, British Columbia\, Canada\, V6T 1Z4 ORGANIZER:malinda@ieee.org SEQUENCE:70 SUMMARY:Kaiser Chair Talk Series Sponsored by IEEE PELS: Electrical Design Under Pressure URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/588294 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">As electrification accelerates across Canada\, buildings are being asked to accommodate signi ficantly greater electrical demand from heat pumps\, electric vehicle char ging\, domestic hot water\, and other traditionally fossil-fuelled loads.
