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

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​

VIDEO VIEWING IS REQUIRED! \nCEU’s: 1 CSL\, 1AIA\, I BPI\, 1 Code Official \nCommercial Webinar – Top 10 Things You Need to Know \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION\nA new requirement in the MA 780 CMR 9th Edition\, Chapter 13 code amendments require all commercial new construction subject to that code to be designed and constructed to be “Solar-Ready”. This requirement is to ensure that future building infrastructure can take advantage of a market that is expected to become more conducive to renewable energy. This 1-hour presentation further expands on the requirements with guidance for code officials as to what they should expect to look for in plan reviews and site inspections. Draft checklists for those criteria will also be unveiled and reviewed for additional comments and enhancement\, for use by code officials and other construction stakeholders. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\nSolar Ready Provisions for commercial buildings.

VIDEO VIEWING IS REQUIRED! \nCEU’s: 1 AIA\, 1 BPI\, 1 CSL\, 1 Building official \nResidential Webinar – Stretch Code Documentation \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION\nThe 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. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\nHERS documentation\, Energy Star Documentation\, ang PHUIS Documentation

SUMMARY:(Encore of Oct Webinar) 4.3 Designers\, Builders\, and Code Officials Working Together for Energy Code Compliance
DESCRIPTION:Due to last week’s storm in Massachusetts\, we are having an encore presentation of the October Webinar presented by Mass Save. \nMake 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 – Designers\, Builders\, and Code Officials Working Together for Energy Code Compliance (2:05 pm – 3:05 pm) \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION:\nThe role of architects and designers versus builders and building owners regarding energy code-compliant design and construction is not always clear. Architects and designers are responsible for providing compliant drawings but may not be tasked with handling third-party documentation or on-site supervision. Conflicts may arise when these roles are not clearly delineated in the scope of work. This module will cover various energy code documentation requirements and construction supervision duties and present various models and best practices for who is responsible for what. Code officials will also benefit from this session by gaining a more thorough understanding of documentation and verification process. \nLearning Objectives\n• Roles of the project team\n• Steps in the compliance process\n• Co-learning and collaboration opportunities
