SUMMARY:Mechanical Energy Plan Review for Beginners
DESCRIPTION: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 results in the field by the contractors and inspectors for energy compliance? We are going to review these questions with examples from plans and pictures from the field\, both good and maybe not so good. Let talk about the process that is needed to get a project complaint with the energy code.

SUMMARY:Commercial Compliance Paths for Plan Review
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Hope Medina Description: This session takes a look at the flexibility and options provided in the International Energy Conservation Code in determining paths of demonstrating code compliance. Attendees will review what type of documentation is needed for each path. We will look at how COMcheck\, ASHRAE 90.1\, and Energy Raters\, are used as compliance metrics and how the “Mandatory” items of the code are affected or put into play depending on the compliance path chosen in the design process.

SUMMARY:Low-Energy & Unconditioned Building in the Energy Code
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Joshua Harmon \nDescription: This course explores the unique compliance considerations for low-energy buildings and unconditioned spaces under state-adopted energy efficiency and construction codes. While some structures—such as storage buildings\, agricultural facilities\, certain low-energy occupancy types\, and unconditioned spaces—may qualify for exemptions or reduced requirements\, design and enforcement professionals must understand the limits of these exceptions and how they are applied in practice.

SUMMARY:A2L Refrigerants in Mechanical Equipment: What to Know and How it Impacts Design
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Joshua Harmon \nDescription: This session provides an essential overview of the emerging use of A2L (mildly flammable) refrigerants in HVAC and refrigeration systems. With updated codes and standards allowing their use\, this class will help building professionals\, code officials\, and HVAC designers understand the unique properties\, safety considerations\, and design implications of incorporating A2L refrigerants into mechanical equipment. The session will cover regulatory compliance\, installation practices\, ventilation requirements\, and fire safety measures—equipping participants to assess and apply A2L refrigerants safely and effectively in both new construction and retrofit applications.
