COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Large commercial buildings are common in large urban areas, and while less common in suburban and rural areas, they have large per-building energy impacts. This program will prepare design professionals and code enforcement officials ensure their work results in buildings with better-than-average energy use intensities.
Attendees will be asked to pinpoint the locations in construction documents where various mechanical controls and equipment specifications are (or should be). Guided discussions will help attendees identify the best ways to provide adequate documentation on plans and inspect or elucidate control configurations in the field.
Learning Objectives:
Attendees will be able to…
1. Understand the types and basic functions of common and complex HVAC systems
2. Identify where ventilation and related equipment are required including economizers, demand-controlled ventilation, and energy recovery ventilation
3. Understand fan power limitation calculations and how to determine if systems meet code limits

In a robust study of commercial buildings, 21% of the energy code provisions investigated were responsible for 81% of the potential savings. This created a framework for prioritizing energy code enforcement efforts based on the time it takes to verify a code provision versus the energy savings potential. With code enforcement officials being strapped for time and having other life-health safety priorities, this course, Part 1 of a two-part series, covering high-impact commercial envelope requirements, will help them prioritize efforts, improve compliance, and maximize the realization of savings inherent in the energy code.
1. Identify energy code envelope requirements with the greatest energy impacts and prioritize energy code documentation
2. Describe a process for creating and reviewing plans that includes documenting and assessing the highest impact energy code provisions related to envelope
3. Understand how to integrate provided construction details verification forms and checklists into normal compliance documentation or enforcement processes
4. Identify permit application specifications that enable a simplified plan review process as well as a process for providing or collecting verification forms
