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! \nCEU’s: 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:MA R3.3 Residential Ventilation Done Right. How and Why.
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: 1 AIA\, 1 BPI\, 1 CSL (Topic – Code)\, 1 Building Official \nResidential Webinar – Residential Ventilation Done Right. How and Why. \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION:\nPart 1 and 2 Mechanical ventilation is as important to indoor air quality as it is for energy conservation. The second part of the course will cover 2018 IECC\, IRC\, and Massachusetts amendments relating to whole-house mechanical ventilation system requirements. This will include when whole-house ventilation is required\, how to calculate the minimum design airflow rate\, and how to verify installed airflow rates. The presenter will also provide an overview of different ventilation systems – exhaust only\, supply-only and balanced ventilation (including ERVs/HRVs) – along with pros and cons of each type of system. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\n-Ventilation Types\n-Why Ventilate\n-Calculating Ventilation amount

SUMMARY:R4.1 - Stretch Code Overview and Compliance Options
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 \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION: \nThis course discusses energy code provisions specific to the Massachusetts stretch code\, including the three available compliance paths – RESNET HERS\, Passive House and ENERGY STAR. The presenter will also discuss how renewable energy tradeoffs for technologies such as solar PV\, solar thermal systems\, clean biomass stoves\, or renewable primary heating systems. Available software programs and required documentation for each of these compliance paths will be examined. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nLearning Objective 1: \nIdentifies the Massachusetts residential stretch energy code document and software requirements \nLearning Objective 2: \nDiscusses and identifies the requirements in order to meet the RESNET HERS energy code compliance path \nLearning Objective 3: \nDiscusses and identifies the requirements in order to meet the Energy Star energy code compliance path \nLearning Objective 4: \nDiscusses and identifies the requirements in order to meet the Passive House energy code compliance path

SUMMARY:MA – R1.2 Residential Stretch Code Mandatory Requirements and Additional Efficiency Requirements
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 (Code Review)\, 1 AIA\, 1 BPI\, 1 Code Official \nResidential Stretch Code Overview Part 3:\nThis module takes a deeper look into Solar Ready requirements. We discuss changes to Solar Ready and reinforce requirements that have not changed. We also look at Electric Vehicle readiness as it applies to one and two family housing as well as townhomes and R-Use buildings 3 stories and below. We’ll also cover some exceptions to both Solar Ready and EV Ready. We’ll also share some frequently asked questions from our code hotline.

SUMMARY:R3.1 - 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 \nCourse Description:\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 2018 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.
