COURSE DESCRIPTION
Countless previous research shows that code officials have very limited time to perform thorough plan reviews and that energy code provisions are often the first items to be jettisoned. This webinar is Part 1 of a two-part series, and will not only help code officials, but also those responsible for preparing construction documents. Participants will understand what’s required to do quick – yet thorough – document submittals and plan reviews. Sample checklists, worksheets and other forms will be discussed and downloadable.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
1. Describe a process for reviewing residential plans that includes assessing the highest impact energy code provisions
2. Understand the inputs to provided forms and checklists such as duct and envelope testing verification and HVAC design forms and integrate them into your organization’s normal compliance documentation or enforcement processes
3. Recreate a timeline that includes which construction details and verification forms needed to be provided/collected
4. Describe how third-party energy professionals such as duct and envelope testers and HERS Raters fit into the inspection process

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

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is Part 2 of a two-part series and covers the mechanical, plumbing and lighting requirements for residential buildings in the NYStretch Code, as well as requirements covering electric power systems. We will also discuss the relationship of this voluntary code to the mandatory New York City energy code.
Learning objectives:
1. Identify how mechanical equipment efficiencies and lighting factor into each energy code compliance option under NYStretch
2. Identify differences between NYStretch the base code for mechanical, plumbing and lighting systems
3. Understand the Electric Power (Solar-ready and EV-ready) requirements
4. Identify and understand all mandatory requirements (items that must be met regardless of compliance path)

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Description automatically generated Energy Code and Additions, Alteration, and Repairs (1 hour)
Residential 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.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Countless previous research shows that code officials have very limited time to perform thorough plan reviews and that energy code provisions are often the first items to be jettisoned. This webinar is Part 1 of a two-part series, and will not only help code officials, but also those responsible for preparing construction documents. Participants will understand what’s required to do quick – yet thorough – document submittals and plan reviews. Sample checklists, worksheets and other forms will be discussed and downloadable.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
1. Describe a process for reviewing residential plans that includes assessing the highest impact energy code provisions
2. Understand the inputs to provided forms and checklists such as duct and envelope testing verification and HVAC design forms and integrate them into your organization’s normal compliance documentation or enforcement processes
3. Recreate a timeline that includes which construction details and verification forms needed to be provided/collected
4. Describe how third-party energy professionals such as duct and envelope testers and HERS Raters fit into the inspection process

Participants will understand what’s required to do quick – yet thorough – site inspections. Sample inspection checklists, worksheets and other forms will be discussed and downloadable.
Learning objectives:
After taking this course, attendees will be able to…
1. Describe a process for inspecting residential construction that includes assessing the highest impact energy code provisions
2. Understand the inputs to provided forms and checklists such as duct and envelope testing verification and HVAC design forms and integrate them into your organization’s compliance documentation or enforcement processes
3. Recreate a timeline that includes which construction details and verification forms need to be provided/collected and when in the design/construction process
4. Describe how third-party energy professionals such as duct and envelope testers and HERS Raters fit into the inspection process
