Residential Webinar – Understanding and Reviewing 3rd Party Documentation (1:00 pm – 2:00 pm)
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The second part of the course deals with documentation. Building inspectors cannot directly verify every aspect of the code, but luckily, there are experienced energy professionals who can provide verification and documentation of the most important energy code requirements. Clear and consistent documentation improves energy code compliance and saves time. This course covers critical documentation including ERI/HERS, ENERGY STAR v 3.1 reports, as well as PHIUS/Passive House. The presenter will review example reports and describe how to interpret essential data, along with keeping track of this information with a one-page checklist created by the Mass Save Energy Code Technical Support Program
