Instructor: Hope Medina Description: This class offers a comprehensive look at the updated power and lighting provisions in the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) for commercial buildings. Attendees will explore key changes in lighting controls, daylighting requirements, occupancy sensor zones, and electrical energy monitoring provisions. The class will also address how different compliance paths impact […]
Instructor: Hope Medina Description: A critical component of the building thermal envelope for commercial buildings are both insulation and fenestration. The question becomes what information do we need to provide to ensure that a plan review can be performed for these components? Let's take this opportunity to show aspects of the code that are tools to […]
Instructor: Steve Thomas Description: Focuses on those elements of buildings that are required to be fire-resistance-rated due to other provision of the code. Based on the International Building Code® (IBC®), provision applicable to all of the occupancies and construction types will be addressed. The seminar is applicable to all aspects of the regulatory/design/construction community, including […]
Instructor: Hope Medina Description: Let’s take a look at the relationship between the thermal envelope and mechanical systems. How does the REScheck software program work, and how does it assist with determining compliance with the thermal envelope for residential projects. Let’s take a look at the software and the reports they produce. Let’s also take a […]
Instructor: Bill Clayton Description: Description: Full day class on IBC and IFC requirements for elevators including when elevators are required, shaft construction and requirements, elevator lobbies and fire protection, and how to conduct plan review and inspection for elevators related to the IBC/IFC and A17.1 requirements
Instructor: Hope Medina Description: A building doesn't just appear. It starts with the design of the building, and ends with it being inspected. What should be provided on the plans and what should I be looking for when reviewing a project to get the desired results in the field by the contractors and inspectors for energy […]
Instructor: Steve Thomas Description: This class will discuss some of the basic documents created by building departments and how to communicate to the public. Technical writing skills will be touched on as well as how to format different documents.
Instructor: Hope Medina Description: Let the light in. Several of our codes require that natural lighting be provided for the occupants of the building. How do windows, doors, and skylights play their part in the building thermal envelope? We will look at the requirements found in the energy code to support the requirements found in the […]
Instructor: Steve Thomas Description: This seminar will focus on the different types fire-resistant rated assemblies and systems required by the International Building Code. Resources on identifying different systems will be discussed. The seminar will also discuss the plan review and inspection of such assemblies and systems.
