VT 2020 Commercial Building Energy Standards (CBES) (1.5 AIA LU/HSW)

Detailed overview of the full building compliance requirements for the 2020 VT Commercial Building Energy Standard/code. Will cover building envelope in additional depth as well. There will also be time for Q&A.  Course is eligible for 1.5 AIA credits and 1.5 HSW credits

Learning objectives:

1. Compliance options for meeting the 2020 VT CBES 
2. Detailed information on moisture management strategies and envelope assemblies to protect against condensation and potential for fungal growth in the building, and the importance of mechanical ventilation on Indoor Air Quality
3. Important key differences in the application of the 2020 VT RBES vs the 2015 version, focusing on specific assembly component considerations and options for the continuous insulation requirements of the code to mitigate condensation and mold risk. Will also mention anticipated changes with proposed 2023 CBES in rulemaking now.
4. Detail on material options, and proper installation requirements for balanced ventilation systems (importance of duct design) to achieve good indoor air quality.
