SUMMARY:R4.3 Duct Sealing and Testing
DESCRIPTION:Make sure to use the GoToWebinar link to obtain video access\, this is required and verified for CEU credit. VIDEO VIEWING IS REQUIRED! \nPlease be advised that GoToWebinar is only compatible with the browsers Firefox and Chrome. \nIf requesting BPI\, AIA\, CSL\, or MA Code Official CEUs\, a corresponding ID number must be provided.\nCEU’s: 1 CSL (Topic – Energy)\, 1 AIA\, 1 BPI\, 1 Code Official\, 1 RESNET PDH \nPart 3:\nAccording to a 2015-16 study on single-family residential homes\, over 90% of all homes studied had all or portion of duct systems in unconditioned space which means all these homes would require duct testing and portions outside conditioned space should be insulated. This course discusses code requirements for duct testing\, prescriptive duct leakage requirements\, duct insulation and sealing requirements. With a discussion on best practices in duct insulation\, the presenter will discuss Manual D which is a process to design duct systems and required by code.

SUMMARY:R4.2 - Equipment Sizing\, Manual J and S
DESCRIPTION:Make sure to use the GoToWebinar link to obtain video access\, this is required and verified for CEU credit. VIDEO VIEWING IS REQUIRED! \nIf requesting BPI\, AIA\, CSL\, or MA Code Official CEUs\, a corresponding ID number must be provided.\nCEU’s: 1 CSL (Topic- Energy)\, 1 BPI\, 1 Code Official \nResidential Webinar – Equipment Sizing\, Manual J and S \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION:\nAccording to the 2015-16 study on single-family residential homes\, only 14% of homes meet the code requirement of designing mechanical equipment based on ACCA Manual S and Manual J. This course covers Manual S requirements and why following Manual S would not only lower energy bills\, but also increase comfort. The discussion will include the ACCA design process\, Manual J load calculation process & modeling\, which is the first step in sizing equipment properly\, Manual S over-sizing provisions\, available software tools to carry out Manual S calculations\, and ends with a case study demonstrating how the Manual J and Manual S process works. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\n1: Provide background on the Air Conditioning Contracts of America (ACCA)\n2: Discuss the purpose and use of ACCA Manual D\n3: Discuss the purpose and use of ACCA Manual J\n4: Discuss the purpose and use of ACCA Manual S

DESCRIPTION:Make sure to use the GoToWebinar link to obtain video access\, this is required and verified for CEU credit. VIDEO VIEWING IS REQUIRED! \nPlease be advised that GoToWebinar is only compatible with the browsers Firefox and Chrome. \nCEU’s: 1 CSL (Topic – Energy)\, 1 AIA\, 1 BPI\, 1 Building official\, 1 RESNET PDH \nPart 1:\nMechanical systems and service water heating systems are key elements to energy performance of residential buildings. At the same time\, code provisions related to these systems are among those with least code compliance. This course covers code provisions with the highest energy impacts and suggestions for verifying compliance during plan reviews and inspections.

SUMMARY:R6.0 - The Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code for HERS Raters
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: 3 CSL (Code Review)\, 3 AIA\, 3 BPI\, 3 Code Official\, 3 RESNET PDHs \nDescription:\nThe Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code incorporates a blend of energy rating requirements and International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) requirements\, which often leads to confusion. This course covers the requirements of the Energy Rating Index (ERI) path\, as amended by Massachusetts\, and IECC “mandatory” requirements. This course\, specifically designed for HERS Raters\, reviews details of the ERI path\, including rating standard options\, renewable energy bonuses\, and verification and documentation requirements. It will also discuss every IECC requirement that is mandatory under the ERI path\, including envelope\, mechanical system\, service hot water\, and whole-house mechanical ventilation. The Stretch Code requires a completed ENERGY STAR Thermal Enclosure System Checklist\, and this course will provide a review of the items required on this checklist in comparison to the IECC Air Barrier and Insulation Installation Criteria\, which are also required. The course will also describe duct leakage testing requirements\, including IECC and RESNET 301 testing exemptions and related modeling issues. Finally\, the course will briefly touch on the alternative ERI path (Passive House)\, EV-Ready requirements\, and solar-ready requirements. \n1. Have knowledge of the Stretch Code and how it is adopted locally to improve energy efficiency over the base code.\n2. Compare and contrast the compliance options available for new construction\, such as Prescriptive\, ERI\, and Passive House.\n3. Learn the requirements of Appendix RB: Solar Ready as well as the EV Ready and its requirements.\n4. Define the Specialized Code and explain how it results in zero- or near-zero energy buildings

SUMMARY:R3.3 - Residential Ventilation Done Right: Why and How
DESCRIPTION:Make sure to use the GoToWebinar link to obtain video access\, this is required and verified for CEU credit. VIDEO VIEWING IS REQUIRED! \nPlease be advised that GoToWebinar is only compatible with the browsers Firefox and Chrome. \nCEU’s: 1 CSL (Topic – Energy)\, 1 AIA\, 1 BPI\, 1 Building official\, 1 RESNET PDH \nPart 3:\nMechanical ventilation is as important to indoor air quality as it is for energy conservation. The second part of the course will cover 2021 IECC\, IRC\, and Massachusetts amendments relating to whole-house mechanical ventilation system requirements. The new requirement of HRV and ERV only systems will be discussed. This will include when whole-house ventilation is required\, how to calculate the minimum design airflow rate\, and how to verify installed airflow rates.

SUMMARY:MA - R3.1 Residential Air Barrier and Insulation Installation
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 Building official\, 1 RESNET PDH \nPart 1:\nThe installation of a continuous air and thermal barrier is perhaps the best and most cost-effective way to reduce energy waste and save money on utility bills; at the same time\, important details are often missed. This course will be framed around the 2021 IECC Air Barrier and Insulation Installation criteria found in Table 402.4.1.1 with photos and graphics to illustrate noncompliant and compliant installation of critical details like attic penetrations\, wall-to-ceiling transitions\, rim joists\, garage walls\, knee walls\, and tubs and showers on exterior walls. Installing and inspecting insulation to meet code and manufacturer requirements will also be discussed.
