SUMMARY:Choosing the Right Commercial Compliance Path: Documentation and Tools
DESCRIPTION:Make sure to use the GoToWebinar link to obtain video access\, this is required and verified for CEU credit. VIDEO VIEWING IS REQUIRED! \nCourse Description:\nUnder the new Massachusetts Stretch Code\, 225 CMR 23\, new commercial buildings over 20\,000 square feet must use a performance path for compliance. This two-hour training focuses on the two most common performance-based compliance options\, Targeted Performance and Relative Performance. The Targeted Performance path requires projects to use energy modeling to demonstrate compliance with the heating and cooling Thermal Energy Demand Intensity (TEDI) targets. The Relative Performance path is based on ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G Performance Rating Method with Massachusetts amendments. This training will cover the reporting requirements and documentation that must be submitted to code officials for both compliance paths. It provides instructions for filling out the DOE/PNNL Compliance Form and Companion Tool for projects following the Relative Performance Path\, and instructions for filling out the TEDI Compliance Tool for projects following the Targeted Performance path. The training covers productivity tips\, efficient workflow\, common mistakes\, and best practices. \nLearning Objectives:\n1. List the documentation that must be submitted to code officials for projects following performance paths of compliance.\n2. Understand how to fill out the TEDI Compliance Tool for Targeted Performance Path projects.\n3. Understand how to fill out the Compliance Form and Companion Tool for Relative Performance Path projects.

SUMMARY:C7.1 - Building Systems Commissioning: Saving Money and Meeting Code
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 \nCommercial Webinar – Building Systems Commissioning: Saving Money and Meeting Code \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION:\nBuilding commissioning reduces energy bills\, improves comfort\, reduces CO2 and other emissions\, and… it is the law. According to data from US Energy Information Administration (EIA)\, in 2018 commercial buildings accounted for over 18% of the energy consumed in the US\, with over half that energy dedicated to heating\, cooling\, and lighting. While most building owners and builders understand the importance of high-efficacy lighting and efficient HVAC systems\, the importance of building system commissioning is less widely appreciated. Studies have shown that the operating efficiency of commercial buildings improves by as much as 13% with commissioning.\nThis course will provide an overview of mechanical systems and lighting commissioning including the benefits to building owners and occupants\, the general commissioning process\, and a review of energy code requirements and associated documentation. The course will also identify the roles that building owners\, builders\, code officials\, and commissioning agents play in the commissioning process and highlight relevant industry standards and certifications. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\nAttendees will be able to…\n1. Describe the code requirements for building systems commissioning.\n2. Understand the different phases of the commissioning process.\n3. Identify the roles of building owners\, commissioning providers\, builders\, and building code officials.\n4. Provide and review the required commissioning documentation.

SUMMARY:Energy Modeling for Commercial Compliance Pathways (Part 1)
DESCRIPTION:Make sure to use the GoToWebinar link to obtain video access\, this is required and verified for CEU credit. VIDEO VIEWING IS REQUIRED! \nThis is Part 1 of a 4 Part presentation. Viewing all parts is required to receive credit. \nCourse Description:\nUnder the new Massachusetts Stretch Code\, 225 CMR 23\, new commercial buildings over 20\,000 square feet must use a performance path for compliance. This two-part training series focuses on the two most common performance-based compliance options\, Targeted Performance and Relative Performance. The Targeted Performance path requires projects to use energy modeling to demonstrate compliance with the heating and cooling Thermal Energy Demand Intensity (TEDI) targets. The Relative Performance path is based on ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G Performance Rating Method with Massachusetts amendments. This training will cover the energy modeling requirements of both compliance options in detail including covering special rules for retrofits\, additions\, and core-and-shell projects. The training will also provide a high-level refresher of specific topics covered in the 4-hour MA Stretch 2023 targeted and relative performance path training including requirements other than energy modeling that projects must meet and the documentation that must be submitted to code officials. \nLearning Objectives:\n1. Understand the modeling requirements associated with the Targeted Performance Path and the Relative Performance Path for MA Commercial Stretch Energy Code compliance.\n2. Comprehend the modeling requirements for special cases including core-and-shell projects and first-time tenant fit outs.\n3. Develop a high-level\, basic understanding of MA Stretch 2023 mandatory requirements and the types of 90.1 mandatory requirements that projects are required to comply with.

SUMMARY:R6.0 - 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 CSL (Code Review)\, 3 AIA\, 3 BPI\, 3 Code Official\, 3 RESNET PDHs \nDescription:\nThe 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. \n1. Have knowledge of the Stretch Code and how it is adopted locally to improve energy efficiency over the base code.\n2. Compare and contrast the compliance options available for new construction\, such as Prescriptive\, ERI\, and Passive House.\n3. Learn the requirements of Appendix RB: Solar Ready as well as the EV Ready and its requirements.\n4. Define the Specialized Code and explain how it results in zero- or near-zero energy buildings
