Scope, Application and Administration

The types of buildings the Standard applies to, who issues interpretations and rulings on it, the approaches for complying, and how it is typically enforced when it is adopted as code.

Building Envelope – General and Mandatory Provisions

How to determine the space conditioning category(s) that apply to your building and ways to comply with the building envelope requirements.

Building Envelope – Prescriptive Requirements

Why the Standard has different criteria for different classes of construction and how to use the building envelope prescriptive requirements to comply, including criteria specifications for below-grade walls, insulation of metal building walls and roofs, single-rafter roofs, cool roofs, mass walls. How to specify the minimum R-value and maximum U-factor for building envelope components to comply.

Overview of Mechanical Systems

How to use the EnvStd software to demonstrate compliance with the building envelope requirements.

Lighting – General, Mandatory Provisions and Exterior

How to apply the Standard to HVAC systems for new buildings, additions and alterations to existing buildings, and the buildings types and HVAC systems that may use the simplified approach option.

Lighting – Interior Power

How to use HVAC system equipment efficiency tables, determine when load calculations are required and list what information is needed. How to determine requirements for zone thermostats and off-hour controls, list ventilation system controls and high occupancy ventilation control strategies.

Energy Cost Budget Method

How to apply the requirements for piping and ductwork insulation and sealing.

Building Performance Rating Method

How to determine when airside and waterside economizers are required, how to apply economizer control strategies, minimize simultaneous heating and cooling. Understand control strategies for heat pump systems and two-pipe hydronic systems, the controls required to prevent reheating when dehumidifying a space and how to apply the Standard when humidifying a space.
