This course is Part 1 of a two-part series covering several requirements in the NYStretch Code for commercial buildings including: code compliance paths; building thermal envelope; mechanical systems; service water heating; commissioning; and, additions and alterations. We also discuss the intention and benefits of this voluntary code and its relationship to the New York City energy code.

1-Identify all available energy code compliance pathways under NYStretch

2- Identify differences between NYStretch and the base energy code

3-Understand which provisions are modifications of the IECC/ASHRAE versus an expansion in scope

4- Identify and understand all mandatory requirements (items that must be met regardless of compliance path)
