Webinar Series Schedule

Join this comprehensive webinar series designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to successfully meet the IECC 2021 building thermal envelope and duct leakage testing requirements. This series will guide you through the latest energy code standards, providing you with practical insights and expert tips for passing these critical tests with confidence.

June 18: 2024 IECC for Garages and Sunrooms, Shaunna Mozingo

There are a few different ways that codes look at garages and sunrooms, but the IECC gives these spaces a break in requirements if they meet all the appropriate definitions and are heated and/or cooled in a specific way. Let's look at when a garage must meet energy code requirements, and when it can receive a break from them. We'll also look at whether a sunroom is really a sunroom per the energy code, and when it can receive a break in requirements.

June 25: Reading Residential Performance Reports, Robby Schwarz

The IECC allows several different paths of compliance through the code. This course will look at the Simulated Performance Pathway and the Energy Rating Index Path to determine how to review and approve the compliance reports provided both at plan review and at final inspection.

July 2: Manual J, D, S – Field Verification, Shaunna Mozingo

Let's look at what types of things should be verified in the field when it comes to Manual J, D, and S requirements. We'll take a quick look at how to verify the load calcs. and equipment

choices, but then also look at how to verify them on inspections. This will be a high-level, top 10 type of approach to the verification of these requirements.

July 9: Commercial Energy Top 10 Approach, Shaunna Mozingo

Often, we open the commercial chapters of the IECC and see a lot of complicated formulas and tables, so we end up closing the book and hoping for the best in our buildings. A book that isn't easily understood leaves us with energy efficiency on paper only. Let's look at how buildings use energy and see if we can identify the top 10 items that affect the energy efficiency of commercial buildings. Once these items have been identified, we can then make time to look at these items when we find ourselves short on time and unable to look at it all.

July 16: Commercial Mechanical Load Calcs for Beginners, Shaunna Mozingo

Many jurisdictions do not require mechanical load calculations for commercial buildings because they are not sure how to review them and believe that since they are stamped by the mechanical engineer they are all good. Let's learn how to be a second set of eyes on these important load calculations. We'll take a look at why they are a mandatory submittal in the energy code, and how to start reviewing them a little at a time. This is a basic, entry level type of course.

July 23: Air Leakage, Shmair Leakage – Why Do I Care? Robby Schwarz

With the 2024 IECC requiring air-leakage testing for all residential (and now almost all commercial) buildings, it's easy to see that the requirement isn't going away. Why on earth is it so important to verify? What's the big deal? A leaky building means a healthy building, right? Let's check it out. We'll look at air leakage through a building science lens to understand not just the energy penalties for leaky buildings, but the moisture, durability and resiliency penalties that could arise as well.

July 30: Air Barriers & Insulation Go Together Like Peas and Carrots, Robby Schwarz

We often hear about air barriers and the important role that they play in our buildings. We now must verify them for installation and continuity in both commercial and residential buildings.

We also hear a lot about the benefits of insulation and all the different types of insulation that can be installed. This course will look at the importance of air barriers in alignment and continuity with the insulation; they go together! Let's understand why and how.
