This course will help building officials understand the procedure for working with builders to receive their Energy Code certification documents and it will focus on all the construction requirements for both new home construction and remodels. The class will gain knowledge in energy efficient framing, proper insulation installation, appropriate R-values and U-values and the 3 methods for compliance (Performance, Total Ua, Prescriptive). The participants will be able to identify the proper procedure for compliance and the most commonly utilized compliance path for new home construction vs. remodels. The participants will be able to perform field inspections where they can identify whether or not the home has proper framing, insulation, and other code components.
