SUMMARY:R4.4 - The Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code for HERS Raters
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: 3 AIA\, 3 BPI\, 3 Code Official \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION:\nMassachusetts Stretch Energy Code incorporates a blend of energy rating requirements and International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) requirements\, which often leads to confusion. This course covers the requirements of the Energy Rating Index (ERI) path\, as amended by Massachusetts\, and IECC “mandatory” requirements. This course\, specifically designed for HERS Raters\, reviews details of the ERI path\, including rating standard options\, renewable energy bonuses\, and verification and documentation requirements. It will also discuss every IECC requirement that is mandatory under the ERI path\, including envelope\, mechanical system\, service hot water\, and whole-house mechanical ventilation. The Stretch Code requires a completed ENERGY STAR Thermal Enclosure System Checklist\, and this course will provide a review of the items required on this checklist in comparison to the IECC Air Barrier and Insulation Installation Criteria\, which are also required. The course will also describe duct leakage testing requirements\, including IECC and RESNET 301 testing exemptions and related modeling issues. Finally\, the course will briefly touch on the alternative ERI path (ENERGY STAR Homes and Passive House)\, EV-Ready requirements\, and solar-ready requirements.

SUMMARY:R3.1 - Air Barrier and Insulation Installation
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 (Topic – Energy)\, 1 AIA 1 BPI 1 Building official \nDescription: \nThe 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 noncompliant 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.

SUMMARY:R2.3 - Duct Sealing\, Testing\, and Design
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 (Topic – Energy)\, 1AIA\, I BPI\, 1 Code Official \nResidential Webinar – Duct Sealing\, Testing\, and Design \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION:\nAccording to the 2015-16 study on single-family residential homes\, over 90% of all homes studied had all or portion of duct systems in unconditioned space which means all these homes would require duct testing and portions outside conditioned space should be insulated. This course discusses code requirements for duct testing\, prescriptive duct leakage requirements\, duct insulation and sealing requirements. With a discussion on best practices in duct insulation\, the presenter will discuss Manual D which is a process to design duct systems and required by code. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: ​\n1: Discuss the use of ACCA Manual D\n2: Explain how a duct leakage test is performed\n3: Describe the requirements for duct sealing and discuss the proper materials for duct sealing\n4: Identify the insulation requirements for duct insulation

SUMMARY:R1.3 - The Energy Code and Additions\, Alterations\, and Repairs (PRIVATE EVENT - HBRACM)
DESCRIPTION:HBRACM Patricia Chalifoux 508-791-5595  \n8 Maple Street Leominster MA  \n1 CSL LU/HSW \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION: \nDescription automatically generated Energy Code and Additions\, Alteration\, and Repairs (1 hour) \nResidential renovations\, alterations\, repairs\, and additions make up the largest proportion of building permit applications; yet\, confusion abounds as to how the energy code applies such as when duct testing is required\, how should ducts be insulated\, and blower door testing requirement for additions. This course will cover several of the most common types of existing home projects and describe the applicability of the most important energy code provisions. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nStretch Code vs Non-Stretch Code​ \nTypes of Projects​ \nAdditions​ \nAlterations​ \nRepairs​ \nChange of occupancy​
