Free In-Person Energy Code Training

This FREE 4-hour training opportunity will include a discussion of the Commercial compliance paths and the impacts of these alternatives on the installation and inspection of the building thermal envelope, a critical component in code compliant commercial construction projects.   This session will include a more in-depth review of the role of Inspections in ensuring consistent code compliant construction and will include  review of the following training topics:

Commercial Compliance Paths

There are alternative pathways of compliance contained in the Energy Code that a designer can choose when designing a commercial project. Some alternatives offer more flexibility than others and allow builders optiobs in determining how to build the most cost effective, well performing, and code compliant structure. Identifying which compliance is being used for a project can impact how building departments review, permit, and inspect each project? This course will review the compliance paths and their respective documentation and code review requirements

Thermal Envelope: Inspection and Installation Best Practices and Code Expectations

The Building Thermal Envelope is a critical component of project design that serves to provide thermal resistance and create a level of safety and separation between exterior environment and the interior conditioned spaces. This course will review the various materials and assemblies that provide this function; examine how these code requirements affect thermal resistance and occupant health and safety; and discuss how proper installation and inspection can verify both energy code compliance and ensure a safe and resilient structure.
