Discover how Fault Managed Power (FMP) opens a multi-billion-dollar heat pump market for low-voltage and network designers. Data centers are reshaping the digital world, but much of that work remains out of reach for most ICT professionals. At the same time, the shift from gas heating to electric heat pumps in buildings represents an equally large, yet far less recognized opportunity. FMP makes this market broadly accessible, enabling ICT professionals to play a central role. This Masterclass explores the drivers behind electrification, the costly barriers of traditional AC distribution, and why FMP is often the only practical way forward. Attendees engage with case studies, calculators, reference designs, and real-world lessons to build a framework for when FMP makes sense, when it doesn’t, and how to communicate the value to stakeholders. Participants leave with design knowledge, financial/market insights, and strategies to expand their scope in green building projects.
