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

CEU’s: 3 CSL (Code Review), 3 AIA, 3 BPI, 3 Code Official, 3 RESNET PDHs
Description:
The 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.
1. Have knowledge of the Stretch Code and how it is adopted locally to improve energy efficiency over the base code.
2. Compare and contrast the compliance options available for new construction, such as Prescriptive, ERI, and Passive House.
3. Learn the requirements of Appendix RB: Solar Ready as well as the EV Ready and its requirements.
4. Define the Specialized Code and explain how it results in zero- or near-zero energy buildings
