C5.1 – The Energy Code and Existing Buildings (Commercial) – Part 1
T02-07-3163
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course will provide a review of IECC Chapter 5 [CE] provisions with an emphasis on situations where work performed on existing buildings requires them to meet the energy code like new construction. This includes additions, new thermal envelope assemblies built as part of an alteration, window replacements, new heating, cooling and duct systems, new service hot water systems, new lighting where 10 percent or more of the luminaires are replaced, changes from unconditioned to conditioned space, and commercial spaces converted to dwelling units. The course will provide numerous examples and ask attendees to identify the energy code requirements for each scenario.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
1- Determine when construction in existing buildings needs to meet the energy code like new construction
2- Determine situations where exception apply
3- Understand various prescriptive energy code requirements for existing building projects requiring compliance like new construction
4- Describe documentation necessary to take the historic buildings exemption

C5.2 - The Energy Code and Existing Buildings (Commercial) - Part 2

C4.1- Electrifying the Energy Code- Part 1
2025-11-12 12:30 - 14:00
C4.1- Electrifying the Energy Code- Part 1
T02-07-3134
COURSE DESCRIPTION: The first part of the program will cover IECC Appendix CA: Solar-Ready Zone along with related requirements including mandatory access and set back areas required by the Fire Code of New York State in Section 1204 Solar Photovoltaic Power Systems. This section will also discuss what it means to include a “collateral dead load” in gravity and lateral design calculations for the roof.

C4.2- Electrifying the Energy Code- Part 2
2025-11-12 14:15 - 15:45
C4.2- Electrifying the Energy Code- Part 2
T02-07-3141
COURSE DESCRIPTION: The second part of the program will cover the EV Charging Station Capable requirements and provide detailed coverage of the five additional power distribution packages in NYStretch Appendix CC. A particular emphasis will be placed on how to accomplish the requirements for the more complex packages, including electrical energy monitoring and interoperable automated demand-response.

C6.1 - Foam without Flames – Part 1 – Thermal Bridging

C6.1 – Foam without Flames – Part 1 – Thermal Bridging
T02-07-3230
COURSE DESCRIPTION Reducing thermal bridging is one of the keys to reducing energy waste in buildings and, to that end, the prescriptive energy code contains requirements for continuous insulation for roofs, above-and below-grade walls, and mass floors. This program will provide an overview of the thermal envelope requirements in the ECCCNYS [CE] and NYStretch [CE] as they relate to continuous insulation. This will be followed by a discussion the types of construction as categorized by the Building Code of New York State (Types I, II, III, IV, V) and associated fire-resistance rating requirements and fire separation distance requirements, and NFPA 285 test for vertical and lateral flame spread as they relate to exterior foam applications.
