PSD has recently added a webinar from our PSD Expert Insights series to our Learning Management System (LMS), PSD Academy. "Looking Beyond HSPF: PSD’s Approach to Heating Electrification Outcome Management" was presented last month by Greg Thomas, CSTO and Founder, and Brendan Thomas, CEM, Sr. Director of Business Development.   In this webinar, our presenters highlighted software tools and services that PSD has developed to improve the reliability of heating electrification outcomes. PSD uses a multistep Total Quality Management based process that integrates load reduction with equipment selection. This process also combines metered results with modeled results for continuous improvement in customer and program results.   You can access the webinar recording here: https://lnkd.in/gqmK5Eck   *If you do not already have an account with PSD Academy, you will need to set one up. Once the account has been created the webinar will be automatically added to “My Courses”. #MovingEnergyEfficiencyForward #EnergyEfficiency #Sustainability #WeSpeakBuilding #PSDExpertInsights #HSPF #BuildingScience #Electrification #WebinarRecording #PSD
