SUMMARY:High Performance Homes Training for Code Officials
DESCRIPTION:High Performance Homes Training for Code Officials\nOCTOBER 20\, 2017 | 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM \nLearn the essentials of building science and examine common building features and techniques being utilized by new home builders that achieve EPSTM (Energy Performance Score) from Energy Trust of Oregon. \nThe course will provide an overview of how builders participating in Energy Trust of Oregon’s New Homes Program are constructing residential structures to achieve EPS\, a third party verification that signals high levels of energy efficiency. You will learn the why\, how and where the most current building techniques and materials are being used to create high performing homes\, and how the EPS standard helps the building industry prepare for increases in energy efficiency standards that are required in future code cycles. \nWhat is EPS? EPS-rated homes are built and tested to exceed code minimum energy standards. With EPS\, home buyers are able to compare how similar-sized homes use energy\, review the features that make energy-efficient homes stand out\, and even see the estimated utility costs before they buy. To determine the score\, a third-party verifier analyzes the home’s features and construction techniques and tests performance factors such as air leakage and duct tightness. Builders that use EPS can also qualify for incentives from Energy Trust of Oregon. EPS has become the industry standard for new homes across Oregon\, as nearly 40% of new home construction statewide has earned above code standards through third party verification and a total of 7 neighborhoods across Central Oregon that require EPS for 100% of homes built within their development. \nWhy does EPS matter to code officials? The new Oregon residential code that takes effect in October 2017 represents an approx. 9% increase in the energy efficiency requirement from the previous code standard. Similar increases in standards are expected to occur in future code cycles\, and above-code EPS-rated homes help the building industry prepare for these changes. In other words\, the high performance home of today can be considered the code home of tomorrow. This training will provide code officials with insights into the features and approaches builders are using today and how they factor into code changes in 2017 and beyond. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nReview building science concepts of thermodynamics\, energy\, and heat transfer\nLearn about air movement and it’s effects on the thermal boundary’s insulating capacity\n\n\nGain an understanding of the features and techniques that go into EPS-rated high performance homes\nUnderstand new home building approaches\, technologies\, and emerging wall systems\n\n\nLook at an overview of solar technology and solar ready infrastructure\nAnticipate future increases in energy code standards\n\nCredits: ICC CEUs (exact number and approval pending)\, 4 CCB Series B\, 4 OCHI\nInstructor: John Spillman – BPI\, LEED Green Rater\, Energy Trust of Oregon (Profile »)
