SUMMARY:R3.1 Residential Air Barrier and Insulation Installation (PRIVATE EVENT - HBRACM)
DESCRIPTION:Call Patricia Chalifoux for registration at 508-791-5595 \nIn-Person Auburn MA  \n1 CSL LU/HSW \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION: \nDescription automatically generated installation of a continuous air and thermal barrier is perhaps the best and most cost-effective way to reduce energy waste and save money on utility bills; at the same time\, important details are often missed. This course will be framed around the 2018 IECC Air Barrier and Insulation Installation criteria found in Table 402.4.1.1 with photos and graphics to illustrate non-compliant and compliant installation of critical details like attic penetrations\, wall-to-ceiling transitions\, rim joists\, garage walls\, knee walls\, and tubs and showers on exterior walls. Installing and inspecting insulation to meet code and manufacturer requirements will also be discussed. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nAir barriers and the code​\nAdvantages of a continuous air barrier​\nAdvantages of proper insulation installation​\nField inspection tips​

SUMMARY:(C2.1) COMcheck 101 – A New Energy Code Requirement Made Easy
DESCRIPTION:Make sure to use the GoToWebinar link to obtain video access\, this is required and verified for CEU credit. VIDEO VIEWING IS REQUIRED! \nCEU’s: 1 CSL\, 1AIA\, I BPI\, 1 Code Official \nCommercial Webinar – COMcheck 101 – A New Energy Code Requirement Made Easy \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION\nThe Massachusetts 9th Edition State Building Energy Code contains a new requirement that ALL commercial building energy code projects have COMcheck reports as part of the permit application. This is a tool for jurisdictions to gather all the relevant energy code information\, including a plan review checklist. This also assures that the jurisdiction has a project-specific list of “Mandatory” compliance elements for verification during plan reviews and inspections. This course will familiarize Massachusetts commercial building stakeholders with the US-DOE COMcheck software. By attending this course\, you will be able to identify construction specifications needed to complete a compliant COMcheck calculation and you’ll learn how to enter building envelope\, lighting\, and mechanical components into the software. We’ll also discuss how to create COMcheck compliance reports and ensure they are accurate with respect to the building plans \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\nCOMcheck Reports
