SUMMARY:2025 Energy Code in Practice: Nonresidential
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nSorting through tables and reading the fine print in the energy code may get you the specific language of the code\, but what does that really mean in practice? In this series\, we’ll walk through key components for each building occupancy type\, providing sample details\, photos of installations and potential pitfalls to avoid. Highlighting 2025 changes throughout\, this course is intended for designers\, builders and building officials. Bring your questions and join in the discussion.\na. Single Family Residential (SFR)\nb. SFR Additions + Alterations\nc. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s)\nd. Multifamily Residential\ne. Nonresidential- THIS COURSE! \nLearning Objective \n\nUnderstand the metrics and standards used in the energy code for evaluating energy performance and indoor air quality\, and how choices for electric or gas equipment may impact compliance with those standards.\nWithin each building type\, review key mandatory measures related to energy performance\, ventilation\, refrigerants and insulation and review potential challenges for integration into design and construction.\nReview the prescriptive “recipe card” approach versus a building performance approach\, and discuss when to use each strategy to best incorporate energy efficiency and healthy interior environments into the specific project design.\nRecognize where barriers or stumbling blocks may occur within permitting and construction and tips for documentation to smooth out the process\, ultimately increasing the energy efficiency\, health and safety of our buildings.\n\nLearning Units \n\n1.5 AIA LUs approved for this course\n0.15 ICC CEUs approved for this course\n1.5 CEA CEUs approved for this course\n\nInstructors \nJennifer Rennick\, In Balance Green Consulting \nGrant Murphy\, In Balance Green Consulting \nCourse Location \nZoom link provided upon registration.
