COURSE DESCRIPTION
In a robust study of commercial buildings, 21% of the energy code provisions investigated were responsible for 81% of the potential savings. This created a framework for prioritizing energy code enforcement efforts based on the time it takes to verify a code provision versus the energy savings potential. With code enforcement officials being strapped for time and having other life-health safety priorities, this course, Part 1 of a two-part series, covering high-impact commercial envelope requirements, will help them prioritize efforts, improve compliance, and maximize the realization of savings inherent in the energy code.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify energy code envelope requirements with the greatest energy impacts and prioritize energy code documentation
2. Describe a process for creating and reviewing plans that includes documenting and assessing the highest impact energy code provisions related to envelope
3. Understand how to integrate provided construction details verification forms and checklists into normal compliance documentation or enforcement processes
4. Identify permit application specifications that enable a simplified plan review process as well as a process for providing or collecting verification forms

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Rigid foam board and spray foam insulation are common material choices to help achieve energy code compliance, but when installed improperly can create fire hazards. Foam products general must be covered from the interior with thermal or ignition barriers, but sometimes may be left exposed via “specific approvals.” The challenge for homebuilders, design professionals, insulation contractors, and code officials is knowing which requirements apply to which applications. This course will cover RCNYSrequirements for common applications of foam insulation in residential construction, including crawl space walls, basement walls, roofs, attic hatches, knee walls, rim joists, and exterior sheathing. These requirements will be presented in the context of meeting ECCCNYS requirements for these building components.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
1- Understand the thermal envelope insulation requirements of the energy code
2- Differentiate between several categories of common foam insulation materials
3- Describe common applications of foam insulation materials and under what conditions these products need to be covered
4- Locate and use documentation for “specific applications” for when foam may be left exposed

The 2018 IECC for Pennsylvania - Commercial
2023-07-11 09:00 - 12:00
Description:
The 2018 IECC went into effect on February 14, 2022, bringing with it an annual savings of up to 14 percent. This training will include a high-level review of building science concepts including basic thermodynamics (how heat moves), including stack effect, and conditions that result in optimum occupant comfort and productivity. The program will focus on high-impact energy code provisions and items with relatively high noncompliance as found by a recent PNNL commercial energy efficiency field study. Specific topics will include envelope insulation and air sealing, mechanical system control configurations, economizers, kitchen ventilation, energy recovery ventilation, demand control ventilation, and lighting controls. These topics will be framed in terms of entering and reviewing COMcheck inputs and outputs for accuracy regarding the submitted construction documents. Instructors will also present the use of example checklists throughout the program.
Learning objectives:
1- Identify significant changes between the 2015 and 2018 IECC
2- Describe the science behind building energy efficiency and occupant comfort and productivity
3- Identify the energy code provisions with high impact but low compliance rates
4- Describe mechanical system and lighting control configuration requirements

This course is Part 2 of a two-part series covering several requirements in the NYStretch Code for commercial buildings including: Electric Power; Appendix CA; Kitchen Equipment and Elevators; Building Monitoring; Lighting; Total Building Performance; Additional Efficiency Packages and Appendix CC. We also discuss the intention and benefits of this voluntary code and its relationship to the New York City energy code.
Learning objectives:
1- Understand requirements for Electric Power and Lighting under NYStretch.
2- Understand requirements for Appendix CA Solar-Ready.
3- Identify requirements for commercial kitchen appliances and elevators.
4- Understand which provisions are modifications of the base code versus an expansion in scope.

The 2018 IECC for Pennsylvania - Residential
2023-07-20 09:00 - 12:00
Description:
The 2018 IECC went into effect on February 14, 2022, bringing with it significant energy savings, mainly from improved envelope tightness. This training will include a high-level review of building science concepts including basic thermodynamics (how heat moves), including stack effect, and conditions that result in optimum occupant comfort. The program will focus on high-impact energy code provisions and items with relatively high noncompliance as found by a DOE/PNNL field study completed in 2018. Specific topics will include envelope insulation, air sealing, and testing, whole-house mechanical ventilation, HVAC equipment sizing, duct insulation, sealing, and testing, and service hot water pipe insulation and circulating system controls. Instructors will also present the use of checklists and third-party verification forms.
Learning objectives:
1. Identify significant changes between the 2015 and 2018 IECC
2. Describe the science behind building energy efficiency and occupant comfort and productivity
3. Identify the energy code provisions with high impact but low compliance rates
4. Understand how reduced air infiltration rate requirements will impact design, construction, and code enforcement

2023 Commercial Stretch and Specialized Code
Part 2: Changes to the Code
This regulation (225 CMR 23) will become effective on July 1, 2023, and aims to be in line with the upcoming 10th Edition of the Massachusetts State Building Code (780 CMR). The objective of this training program is to provide information to code enforcement officials, contractors, and design professionals regarding the updates and changes between the 2018 and 2021 IECC, as well as the new Municipal Opt-in Specialized Code for 2023.
In this course we will take a deep dive into the changes to the commercial requirements of the Massachusetts 2023 Stretch Energy Code. Some highlights include new compliance regulations such as Thermal Bridging and Derating of Exterior Wall Insulation; TEDI compliance, and construction document requirements as the apply to commercial and R-group occupancies.
Learning Objectives
1. Learn how to accommodate the requirements due to code updates.
2. Gain knowledge of how to work with the Thermal Bridge and Derating requirements for Exterior Wall Insulation.
3. Learn the documentation requirements for the new Thermal Distribution Efficiency Index.
4. Comprehend how the changes from the previous code relate to the energy goals of the commonwealth.
