SUMMARY:(C2.2) - COMcheck Case Study – Simple Commercial Building Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Make sure to use the GoToWebinar link to obtain video access\, this is required and verified for CEU credit. VIDEO VIEWING IS REQUIRED! \nCEU’s: 1 CSL (Topic – Energy)\, 1AIA\, I BPI\, 1 Code Official \nCommercial Webinar – COMcheck Case Study – Simple Commercial Building Case Study \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION\nCOMcheck is most often used as a compliance tool for simple commercial buildings and it is easily adapted to renovations. As of January 1\, 2018\, COMcheck report submittals are required by the Massachusetts 9th Edition and its Energy Code. In this course\, through the lens of a simple building case study\, attendees will learn about entering data into COMcheck and conducting a simple commercial plan review for code compliance. The presentation will highlight the most commonly observed entry errors and inconsistencies\, including reference to building plans and specifications. Finally\, the instructor will prepare attendees to conduct site inspections using the site inspection checklist tool. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\nHow to use COMcheck

SUMMARY:(C2.3) - Commercial COMcheck and your existing Buildings
DESCRIPTION:Make sure to use the GoToWebinar link to obtain video access\, this is required and verified for CEU credit. VIDEO VIEWING IS REQUIRED! \nCEU’s: 1 CSL (Topic – Energy)\, 1 AIA\, 1 BPI\, 1 Code Official \nCommercial Webinar – C2.3 Commercial COMCHECK and your existing Buildings \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION:\nCommercial renovation projects dominate permit request applications across the Commonwealth and hold tremendous opportunity for energy savings via energy code compliance. In many cases\, designers\, builders\, and code officials overlook elements with energy code implications. Designers can document commercial renovation projects using COMcheck in a similar manner to new construction projects and this will address how COMcheck is used to meet permit application requirements for renovation projects. The takeaways from this course will include how to determine what constitutes an addition\, alteration\, or repair\, how the energy code applies to change-of-occupancy and change-of-use\, and code exceptions for commercial alterations. This is followed by a demonstration of how to use COMcheck software to show compliance for additions\, alterations\, and repairs. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:

SUMMARY:(C3.1) - Commercial Air Barriers- Three Options for Compliance
DESCRIPTION:Make sure to use the GoToWebinar link to obtain video access\, this is required and verified for CEU credit. VIDEO VIEWING IS REQUIRED! \nCEU’s: 1 CSL (Topic – Energy)\, 1 AIA\, 1 BPI\, 1 Code Official \nCommercial Webinar – Commercial Air Barriers-3 options for Compliance \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION\nThis course will cover Massachusetts 9th Edition energy code requirements for commercial building air barriers\, including those in ASHRAE 90.1-2016 and the 2018 IECC. The course will clarify these requirements for better specification by designers and easier review by code enforcement officials. The course is organized around examples that show differences between systems-based\, assembly-based\, and testing-based compliance options. This introductory course will provide background for a subsequent and more advanced air barrier strategy module. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\n1- Examine the basic requirements for commercial building air barriers in the Massachusetts 9th Edition and reference 2018 IECC and ASHRAE 90.1‐2016.​ \n2- Understand the benefits of the air barrier systems to the environment\, building owner\, and occupants​ \n3- Discuss performance test standards relating to air barrier systems\, including the NFPA 285 fire test.​\n​\n4- Determine what complies as a performance-based air barrier system and how to enforce that requirement​

SUMMARY:C7.1 - Building Systems Commissioning: Saving Money and Meeting Code
DESCRIPTION:Make sure to use the GoToWebinar link to obtain video access\, this is required and verified for CEU credit. VIDEO VIEWING IS REQUIRED! \nCEU’s: 1 CSL (Topic – Code)\, 1 AIA\, 1 BPI\, 1 Code Official \nCommercial Webinar – Building Systems Commissioning: Saving Money and Meeting Code \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION:\nBuilding commissioning reduces energy bills\, improves comfort\, reduces CO2 and other emissions\, and… it is the law. According to data from US Energy Information Administration (EIA)\, in 2018 commercial buildings accounted for over 18% of the energy consumed in the US\, with over half that energy dedicated to heating\, cooling\, and lighting. While most building owners and builders understand the importance of high-efficacy lighting and efficient HVAC systems\, the importance of building system commissioning is less widely appreciated. Studies have shown that the operating efficiency of commercial buildings improves by as much as 13% with commissioning.\nThis course will provide an overview of mechanical systems and lighting commissioning including the benefits to building owners and occupants\, the general commissioning process\, and a review of energy code requirements and associated documentation. The course will also identify the roles that building owners\, builders\, code officials\, and commissioning agents play in the commissioning process and highlight relevant industry standards and certifications. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\nAttendees will be able to…\n1. Describe the code requirements for building systems commissioning.\n2. Understand the different phases of the commissioning process.\n3. Identify the roles of building owners\, commissioning providers\, builders\, and building code officials.\n4. Provide and review the required commissioning documentation.

SUMMARY:C4.3 - Designers\, Builders\, and Code Officials Working Together
DESCRIPTION:Make sure to use the GoToWebinar link to obtain video access\, this is required and verified for CEU credit. VIDEO VIEWING IS REQUIRED! \nCEU’s: 1 CSL (Topic – Energy)\, 1 AIA\, 1 BPI\, 1 Code Official \nCom Designers\, Builders\, & Code Officials Working Together \nThe role of architects and designers versus builders and building owners regarding energy code compliant design and construction is not always clear. Architects and designers are responsible for providing compliant drawings but may not be tasked with handling third-party documentation or on-site supervision. Conflicts may arise when these roles are not clearly delineated in the scope of work. This module will cover various energy code documentation requirements and construction supervision duties and present various models and best practices for who is responsible for what. Code officials will also benefit from this session by gaining a more thorough understanding of documentation and verification processes.
