During this webinar we will discuss actual project case studies highlighting how the commissioning process was executed and how it met the energy efficiency code requirements at each step along the way. \nLearning Objectives\n\nWhat is commissioning? How to verify and document\, learn about the value and what is required for green building What are the current commercial energy codes and versions.\nBuilding Commissioning is an often-overlooked chapter in the commercial energy code\, but it highly impacts energy performance of buildings. The most energy efficient equipment only performs correctly if it has been installed and controlled properly. Learn when and why commissioning is mandated and how\, once done accurately\, the benefits of commissioning on occupant health and wellbeing are recognizably improved.\nWe will discuss commissioning systems\, tasks\, plans\, specifications\, functional performance testing\, reporting and Operations & Maintenance\nLearn about Rhode Island energy codes currently in effect and\n\nPrerequisite Knowledge\nOccupants feel better\, in terms of both physical health and mood. Some examples of performance issues that affect comfort are temperature extremes\, humidity extremes\, excessive airspeed from ventilation\, unpleasant odors\, and noise. \nHSW Justification\nOccupants feel better\, in terms of both physical health and mood. Some examples of performance issues that affect comfort are temperature extremes\, humidity extremes\, excessive airspeed from ventilation\, unpleasant odors\, and noise. \n  \nRICode C24-101

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Residential - Weatherization\, Insulation and Building Science
DESCRIPTION:Presented by CLEAResult \nRegister \nThis course will discuss the basics of observing what is needed for a home to be energy-efficient and safe for occupants throughout all seasons. \nLearning Objectives\n\nThe course will begin with insulation basics and then extend to all areas of making a home more energy efficient which will not only help the homeowners’ energy consumption but will also benefit their health\, welfare\, and the environment.\nLearn about the fundamentals of Building Science\, Insulation and Energy Consumption through Heat Transfer by Conduction\, Convection and Radiation.\nWhat is infiltration and why is it important? Learn about air infiltration\, air sealing\, and air quality by reviewing statistical figures on lack of insulation and moisture.\nNew Homes Existing Homes. Learn about construction basics\, vented vs. unvented attics\, HVAC systems and green misconceptions.\nA review of how Rhode Island Energy’s technical support\, rebates and energy incentives will be discussed along with how they can assist with achieving improvements.\n\nHSW Justification\nThe U.S. Department of Energy released the results of the National Evaluation of the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). The result of these studies provides the success of its endeavors. Energy efficiency is a primary focus of Weatherization\, and the evaluations showed that single-family households saved an average of over $200 on energy bills annually. Yet\, the most inspiring benefits of the program had nothing to do with energy at all. It’s a proven fact that the “non-energy” benefits associated with weatherization and retrofit activities are huge! The health benefits were some of the most impressive results to come out of the evaluations. According to these peer-reviewed findings\, participants in the Weatherization program can reduce the need for emergency room visits and other health-related costs\, saving families thousands in non-energy related benefits. \n  \nRICode R24-105
