The course will also cover IECC compliance with alternative construction practices e.g. conditioned/unvented attic assemblies, credit for tight building construction and duct systems, etc.

 Residential HVAC and the IECC Class

(Half-day class)

The 2006 International Energy Conservation Code and International Residential Code contain provisions that affect the sizing of residential heating and cooling systems, duct design and the insulation and sealing of duct systems.  To assist the residential HVAC industry to better understand the requirements of the code, this half-day course will cover the following topics: 

  ·         Overview of the IECC and IRC requirements Heat Loss/Gain Calculations and Sizing Heating and Cooling Equipment

  ·         Understanding the basics of heat transfer into and out of a house

  ·         Overview of Heat Loss Calculations (Based on Manual J)

  ·         Overview of Heat Gain Calculations

  ·         Duct insulation and sealing requirements

Plan Review for the Residential Provisions of the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code

(Half-day class)

Performing a plan review for compliance with the residential provisions of the 2006 IECC can be an intimidating process.  Often plan review staff have limited time to review the documentation so understanding what to review on the plans and energy code documentation is essential to ensuring that the buildings comply with the code. Plan review staff must understand how to read the REScheck reports and how to compare this to the building plans.  Performance based software is also being used to show compliance with the IECC and it is important to understand what to review on the documentation provided by the software.  This hands on half-day workshop will walk the participant through an energy plan review based on an actual project.  Participants are requested to bring the following:

 Participants will work in small groups or individually to successfully complete a residential IECC plan review.

 Full-Day Commercial 2006 IECC Class

IECC 2006 COMMERICIAL PROVISIONS OVERVIEW

(8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m., lunch provided)

This full-day class covers the provisions of the 2006 IECC that affect commercial buildings.  The course is targeted toward engineering, design, and enforcement professionals.  The course will cover the following topics:

 2006 IECC Commercial Lighting Requirements

(Half-day class)

The one-half day class covers the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code requirements for lighting in commercial buildings.  The class focuses on the Chapter 5 requirements and covers the following topics: 

 2006 IECC Commercial HVAC Class

(half-day class)

The requirements for HVAC systems in Chapter 5 of the International Energy Conservation Code are difficult to understand without the knowledge of how mechanical systems work.  This half-day course provides the class participant with a primer on how both simple and complex HVAC systems work and then focuses on the IECC requirements that apply to the system types.  The course will cover the following topics:

 ·         Overview of commercial mechanical systems

 ·         Requirements for simple HVAC systems (e.g. single zone, unitary systems)

 ·         Requirements for Complex HVAC systems including Variable Air Volume systems, built-up systems using a chiller and boiler, water source heat pump systems and other commercial HVAC systems. The course will cover how the systems work and how the IECC applies to them.

Plan Review for the Commercial Provisions of the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code

(8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m., lunch provided)

Performing a plan review for compliance with the commercial provisions of the 2006 IECC can be an intimidating process because the code requirements regulate the building envelope, lighting and mechanical systems.  This requires that plan reviewer to have a breath of knowledge for three disciplines in order to verify that the plans and documentation meet the code requirements.  This hands on workshop will walk the participant through an energy plan review based on an actual project.  The objective of the course is for each participant to complete a plan review of a commercial building for the lighting, mechanical and building envelope.  Participants are requested to bring the following:

 Participants will work in small groups or individually to successfully complete a commercial IECC plan review.
