SUMMARY:Stretch Energy Code Envelope Part 1: Exploring the Basics
DESCRIPTION:About the TrainingIn order to reach the net zero emissions goals of Massachusetts\, designers need to focus on the key role the envelope plays in load reduction. This starts with the passive design principles of air tightness\, continuous high thermal layer\, and condensation control. This session will explain the prescriptive envelope requirements of the Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code\, detail the methods for determining u-factors of assemblies\, and demonstrate calculating the component performance calculation. While some portions of this course may be applicable to low-rise residential buildings the course will focus on commercial and multifamily buildings that fall under the 225 CMR 23.00 code. \nThis training is eligible for 2 AIA LU / HSW continuing education credits. \nThis is a live\, online training led by instructors from RDH Building Science Inc. \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				Lucas Nahrgang\, PE\, is a Principal and Building Science Specialist with the RDH Boston team.
