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

COURSE DESCRIPTION: The Energy Code and Additions, Alteration, and Repairs (1 hour)
Residential 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.
Learning Objectives
• Stretch Code vs Non-Stretch Code
• Types of Projects
• Additions
• Alterations
• Repairs
• Change of occupancy

COURSE DESCRIPTION 1.1
A 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.

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.
ChecklistThe 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.
