Instructor: Hope Medina Summary: This course is designed to provide a detailed understanding of the mechanical and service water heating provisions found in the energy code. Mechanical systems, including heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), and plumbing, are critical components of a building's energy performance and overall efficiency. This course will identify key elements of mechanical […]
Instructor: Hope Medina Summary: This class offers a comprehensive look at the updated power and lighting provisions in the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) for residential buildings. This edition of the IECC has taken into account that R-2, R-3, and R-4 occupancies that are 3 stories or less that are considered to be residential […]
Instructor: Hope Medina Summary: 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 […]
Instructor: Hope Medina Summary: The 2021 IECC introduced the concept of additional efficiency options into the IECC, which was to pick one of the options listed and that was all that was required. That is no longer the case. This course provides an in-depth exploration of the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) residential additional […]
Insructor: Hope Medina Summary: Section C406 of the 2024 IECC continues to evolve as a critical driver for improved energy performance in commercial buildings. This class dives into the updated menu of Additional Efficiency Package options, helping attendees understand the purpose, flexibility, and technical requirements of each pathway. Participants will examine how these packages interact […]
Instructor: Joshua Harmon Description: This course provides an in-depth examination of spray foam insulation and whole building air barrier testing as critical components of code-compliant construction.
