Highlighting 2025 changes throughout\, this course is intended for designers\, builders and building officials. Bring your questions and join in the discussion.\na. Single Family Residential (SFR)\nb. SFR Additions + Alterations\nc. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) – THIS COURSE!\nd. Multi-family Residential\ne. Non-Residential \nLearning Objectives \n\nUnderstand the metrics and standards used in the energy code for evaluating energy performance and indoor air quality\, and how choices for electric or gas equipment may impact compliance with those standards.\nWithin each building type\, review key mandatory measures related to energy performance\, ventilation\, refrigerants and insulation and review potential challenges for integration into design and construction.\nReview the prescriptive “recipe card” approach versus a building performance approach and discuss when to use each strategy to best incorporate energy efficiency and healthy interior environments into the specific project design.\nRecognize where barriers or stumbling blocks may occur within permitting and construction and tips for documentation to smooth out the process\, ultimately increasing the energy efficiency\, health and safety of our buildings.\n\nLearning Units \n\n1.5 AIA LUs will apply for this course\n0.15 ICC CEUs will apply for this course\n1.50 CEA CEUs will apply for this course\n\nInstructors \nJennifer Rennick\, In Balance Green Consulting \nGrant Murphy\, In Balance Green Consulting \nCourse Location \nZoom link provided upon registration

SUMMARY:Energy Performance and Fire-Resistant Construction
DESCRIPTION:Register \nEvent Description \nWith increasing fire intensity throughout the state and more areas designated with high fire severity zones\, our region is naturally interested in building construction that decreases fire risk. Fortunately\, there is an overlap of strategies that reduce fire risk while also improving energy performance and indoor occupant health. This course walks through those strategies for new construction. \nLearning Units \n\n1 AIA HSW LU pending for this course\n0.1 ICC LU pending for this course\n\nInstructors \nAndy Pease\, In Balance Green Consulting \nJennifer Rennick\, In Balance Green Consulting \n  \nCourse Location  \nZoom link provided upon registration
