Instructor: Troy Jones Description: This course will provide attendees an in-depth review of the US Dept. of Energy's COMCheck software systems used for demonstrating energy code compliance within the Prescriptive Compliance Path. Let's jump onto the COMcheck website through slides and get familiarized with how the software works. Why can I input a value in […]
Instructor: Troy Jones Description: Join us as we review reports that are used to demonstrate compliance with the code for the commercial energy compliance paths. We will look at all of the compliance certificates the COMcheck provides to understand the information being provided. We will also look at a performance report to understand the information […]
Instructor: Hope Medina Description: Energy compliance paths are often thought about for plan review, but do they have to do with inspections. This is a question we will answer in the session. This session will discuss what aspects of the energy code the inspector will inspect when a project designs to any of the options […]
Instructor: Hope Medina Description: Let there be light, but make sure it has an occupancy sensor. Join us as we navigate the provisions for lighting out of the energy code, and the available tools for these. How are these provisions needing to be shown on the plans to get the desired results out in the […]
Instructor: Hope Medina Description: What type of controls do I need to worry about when it comes to the lighting system? Where do I need to be concerned to have lighting controls? These are all great questions. In this session we will dive into everything lighting controls and figuring out what these requirements are.
Instructor: Hope Medina Description: Daylighting is not a four letter word, and once you dive into it you’ll see how much fun they can be. Join us as we look at how every window creates requirements for daylighting zones. We will have fun looking all throughout the book to gain a better understanding of what […]
Instructor: Hope Medina Description: What do you mean inspect commercial lighting; I’m not an electrician. Don’t worry you do not need to be an electrician to inspect commercial energy lighting. Join us as we navigate the lighting section of the code and what that entails for inspections.
Instructor: Joshua Harmon Description: This course is a practical, code-focused training program designed specifically for residential contractors, remodelers, and small-to-mid-size builders and incorporates business-minded considerations while blending the latest model code updates— including energy and mechanical system changes, and enforcement trends — with real-world building science fundamentals that directly affect durability, comfort, and occupant safety.
Instructor: Hope Medina Description: There are a lot of requirements in the energy code, and are there any tools to assist with figuring out the compliance of a project for mechanical systems. This session will walk you through two software reports for heating and cooling load calculations. This session will also take a look at […]
Instructor: Andre Jean Description: Discover the enduring benefits of heat pump technology in this comprehensive course designed for building professionals, energy consultants, and contractors. This course delves into the pivotal role of heat pumps in achieving compliance with the Energy Code. Participants will explore how heat pumps contribute to maintaining safe, energy-efficient structures while reducing […]
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 are things that I should be inspecting in the mechanical system to ensure we have an energy efficient system? We are going to review these questions with examples from plans and […]
Instructor: Hope Medina Description: Using real example we will perform beginning mechanical energy plan reviews.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 […]
