2023 Commercial Energy Code: Air Barriers and Thermal Bridging

Description:
This specialized course delves into the critical aspects of thermal bridging and derating within the framework of the commercial provisions of the Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code. Participants will explore the intricacies of these concepts and learn how to navigate the code’s requirements to achieve optimal energy performance in commercial building design and construction.

Learning Objectives:
• Interpret and apply the code’s requirements related to thermal bridging and derating.
• Utilize derating as a method to account for thermal bridging effects in building assemblies.
• Learn methods for quantifying thermal bridging in commercial building designs.
• Develop strategies for designing commercial building envelopes that minimize thermal bridging.
