About the Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code Training Series
Learn 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.

About the Session: TEDI Modeling
This 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. Case studies and lessons learned from permitted buildings will be used to demonstrate model results and balancing adjustments to design through the design process to reach a final compliant model.

Trainees who provide their AIA Member number with registration will earn 2 AIA LU | HSW learning units for this training.

This is a live, online training led by Chris Schaffner and Prachi Sharma with The Green Engineer.

Chris Schaffner, PE, LEED Fellow, is the founder and CEO of The Green Engineer, Inc. For over 36 years, Chris has been involved in many projects incorporating energy efficiency and sustainability across many building types, ranging from high-rise office buildings to small-scale multi-family residential. Chris serves on the Stretch Energy Code Technical Advisory Committee, among other advisory committees and working groups.

Prachi Sharma, LEED AP BD+C, joined The Green Engineer in 2019, as a Building Performance Analyst. Her expertise lies in using modeling and analysis techniques to help teams optimize building performance. Prachi has prior experience in the world of utility incentives and is passionate about helping teams achieve high performance building design, incorporating elements of sustainability and green building together.

Series Sessions

TEDI Modeling
This 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.

Stretch 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.

Stretch Energy Code Envelope Part 2: Derating New Construction
This 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.

Stretch Energy Code Envelope Part 3: Derating Existing Buildings
This session will build upon Part 2 with a focus on existing buildings.

Specifying Your Building Envelope to Meet the New Mass Energy Code
This 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.

Session Learning Objectives

1. Describe the Targeted Performance Pathway (TEDI), and the metrics involved.
2. Understand when the TEDI pathway will need to be followed as an option to comply with the new MA Stretch Energy Code.
3. Identify the key elements of modeling, interpreting results, and strategies to leverage to comply with TEDI limits.
4. Utilize lessons learned from case studies to apply to other projects.

Pricing Bundle Available

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.
