SUMMARY:R2.1 - Efficient\, Effective\, and Code Compliant HVAC and DHW
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 AIA\, 1 BPI\, 1 Code Official \nResidential Webinar – Efficient\, Effective\, and Code Compliant HVAC and DHW \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION:\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. Topics will include mechanical system sizing\, mechanical piping insulation\, controls such as programmable thermostats\, heat pump supplementary heat and hot water boiler outdoor temperature setback; circulation systems and demand recirculation systems for hot water\, insulation around piping in different scenarios\, drain water heat recovery\, and heated swimming pools. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\nLearning Objective 1:\nDiscuss the 2015 IECC requirements for equipment sizing \nLearning Objective 2:\nHighlight the 2015 IECC requirements for domestic hot water (DHW) and service water heating (SWH) \nLearning Objective 3:\nExplain the differences between the mandatory requirements and the prescriptive requirements of the 2015 IECC \nLearning Objective 4:\nIdentify the energy code requirements for heated pools and permanent spas

SUMMARY:R4.4 - 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! \nCEUs: 3 AIA\, 3 BPI\, 3 Code Official \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION:\nMassachusetts 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 (ENERGY STAR Homes and Passive House)\, EV-Ready requirements\, and solar-ready requirements.

SUMMARY:R1.3 - The Energy Code and Additions\, Alteration\, and Repairs
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 AIA\, 1 BPI\, 1 CSL\, 1 Building official \nResidential Webinar – The Energy Code and Additions\, Alteration\, and Repairs \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION:\nResidential renovations\, alterations\, repairs\, and additions make up the largest proportion of building permit applications; yet confusion abounds as to how the energy code applies such as when duct testing is required\, how should ducts be insulated\, and blower door testing requirement for additions. This course will cover several of the most common types of existing home projects and describe the applicability of the most important energy code provisions. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\nLearning Objective 1:\nCompare Massachusetts stretch energy code requirements for existing buildings to the base energy code requirements for existing buildings \nLearning Objective 2:\nDiscuss the energy code requirements for additions \nLearning Objective 3:\nDiscuss the energy code requirements for alterations \nLearning Objective 4:\nDiscuss the energy code requirements for change of occupancy
