SUMMARY:Specifying Your Building Envelope to Meet the New MA Energy Code
DESCRIPTION:About the Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code Training SeriesLearn more about the MA Stretch Energy Code envelope requirements. Built Environment Plus has collaborated with AIA Massachusetts and the Sponsors of Mass Save® to develop this brand new series for mid-level architects\, engineers\, sustainability consultants\, envelope consultants and contractors. Attend one\, multiple\, or all sessions depending on your training needs. \nAbout the Session: Specifying Your Building Envelope to Meet the New Mass Energy CodeThe MA energy code is complex and has presented challenges for many project teams. This session will cover some common project types and focus on what you need to do early in the project to successfully meet new building envelope requirements in your specifications. We will provide examples and share envelope value ranges that successfully meet the new code requirements.  \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Trainees who provide their AIA Member number with registration will earn 2 AIA LU | HSW learning units for this training. \nThis is a live\, online training led by Carrie Havey with The Green Engineer\, and Lisa Goodwin Robbins with Kalin Associates. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Carrie Havey\, LEED Fellow\, has been with The Green Engineer since 2010. Carrie’s expertise resides in facilitating workshops and collaborating with project teams to provide sustainable design advice and LEED guidance at every stage of a project. She is skilled in overseeing projects that need to meet sustainable design regulatory requirements\, such as MSBA or Article 37 in Boston. She has experience on a wide range of project types\, including higher education facilities\, k-12 schools\, labs\, multi-family residential\, municipal buildings\, and commercial interiors. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Lisa Goodwin Robbins\, RA\, CCS\, LEED\, is a registered architect\, CSI-certified construction specifier\, and LEED-accredited professional with more than 20 years experience in specification writing\, with a focus on projects seeking LBC\, LEED\, and WELL certifications. She helps other Architects\, both designer types and project managers\, be green\, solve problems\, and get their projects built. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Anthony Hardman\, PE\, LEED AP BD+C\, joined The Green Engineer as a Building Performance Analyst (BPA) in the fall of 2010. As a BPA\, he has assessed building energy performance on over 100 building projects using simulation tools including eQUEST\, Trace700\, OpenStudio\, Design Builder (Energy Plus)\, WUFI and others. These assessments have supported (MEPA) greenhouse gas analyses\, LEED / CHPS certification\, energy code compliance\, feasibility studies and utility incentive programs. Anthony’s project expertise includes schools\, offices\, hi-rise residential\, laboratories\, universities\, hospitals\, casinos and more.  \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Series Sessions\n				TEDI ModelingThis session will review the method and best practices of conducting a Thermal Energy Demand Intensity (TEDI) model as required for compliance with the Stretch Energy Code.  \nStretch Energy Code Envelope Part 1: Exploring the Basics This session will explore the prescriptive envelope requirements of the 2023 Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code\, methods for determining u-factors of assemblies\, and how to calculate the component performance calculation.  \nStretch Energy Code Envelope Part 2: Derating New ConstructionThis session will explain thermal bridge types\, how to derate for each one\, and how to perform calculations to determine the u-factor of an assembly accounting for the derating.  \nStretch Energy Code Envelope Part 3: Derating Existing BuildingsThis session will build upon Part 2 with a focus on existing buildings. \nSpecifying Your Building Envelope to Meet the New Mass Energy CodeThis session will cover some common project types and focus on what to do early in the project to successfully meet new building envelope requirements in your specifications. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Session Learning Objectives\n				1. Understand how the Massachusetts Energy Code impacts your envelope design and describe steps needed to comply.  2. Develop PHIUS and TEDI design approaches and specification strategies for code compliance and better building outcomes.  3. Compare and contrast air leakage requirements and the following code pathways: Air leakage compliance\, reduced air leakage\, TEDI\, and PHIUS.4. Incorporate precise specification language that will allow your project to meet the air leakage testing and thermal performance requirements. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Pricing Bundle Available\n				Register for one\, multiple\, or all five sessions in the series. A discount bundle is available to attend all five sessions. Visit the Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code Training Series page for details and instructions to register for multiple sessions. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Funding Grants Available: Submit by December 19th\, 2024\n				The Express Grant is designed to help businesses of all sizes respond quickly to emerging needs and keep employees engaged.
