Instructor: Joshua Harmon Description: This course will review the various characteristics of fenestration that are addressed by the Energy Code to address proper mechanical design for heat loss and solar heat gain; occupant health and comfort resulting from uncontrolled air leakage, and the role of fenestration in lighting and ventilation.
Instructor: Joshua Harmon Description: 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 […]
