SUMMARY:Overview of the Commercial Provisions of the 2019 Oregon Commercial Energy Code (OCEC)
DESCRIPTION:Energy Trust and NEEA invite you to join us for a training on the 2019/2020 code changes on November 7\, at the Mercy Corps building in Portland. This half-day event will feature four one-hour modules. We encourage members of the building\, design and code compliance industry to attend one or all the sessions based on interest. \nScheduled Training Sessions \nCommercial Mechanical Provisions of the OCEC (9–10 a.m.): \nLearn about the HVAC requirements for typical Oregon buildings and provisions that significantly impact energy use\, as we compare the current 2014 OEESPC and the 2019 OCEC. \nBuilding Envelope Requirements of the OCEC (10–11 a.m.): \nGet to know the building envelope provisions of the OCEC\, including the updated building envelope R-value/U-factor requirements\, continuous air barrier requirements and other significant changes from the current OEESPC. \nLighting System Requirements of the OCEC (12–1 p.m.): \nFamiliarize yourself with the new lighting power density requirements\, the new lighting control requirements and how to determine what controls apply to what spaces. \nScope and Application of 2019 OCEC to New and Existing Buildings (1–2 p.m.): \nLearn how the commercial provisions of the OCEC apply to new and existing buildings. This is important for code implementation and ultimately achieving energy savings. We’ll also talk about exemptions that apply for new construction\, and how the OCEC applies to additions\, alterations and repairs. \nAbout the presenter: \nEric Makela is an associate director at New Buildings Institute with 30 years of experience in building energy codes and policy. Eric served on the ICC IECC Code Development Committee for four cycles\, and now represents the Northwest Energy Codes Group in developing IECC code change proposals.
