WORKSHOP: Commercial Energy Code

 

Reduce operating costs, add value to construction projects and reduce your environmental impact by constructing energy-efficient buildings. Learn how to implement ASHRAE 90.1-2007, the most current ASHRAE standard and the minimum energy standard accepted by the USGBC’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building certification program.

This full-day workshop focuses on the scope, application and methods of demonstrating compliance with ASHRAE 90.1-2007. Attendees will also learn building science basics, the content of ASHRAE Chapters 5-11 and strategies for more efficient building envelope, HVAC and lighting systems. In addition, the workshop will include an overview of COMcheck software used to demonstrate compliance with ASHRAE standards.

Note: The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) standards for energy performance have been used in the commercial building industry for more than 30 years. ASHRAE 90.1-2007 is this organization’s most stringent set of energy requirements to date.

The following Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are available for this training: AIA, GBCI, CSI, ICC and the Alabama State Board of HVAC Contractors.
