SUMMARY:WEBINAR: New Principles in Residential Design Using Opening Glass Walls
DESCRIPTION:1 LU | HSW \nPresented by NanaWall \nZoom Registration \nCourse Description: People have been spending more time at home and doing activities that were commonly done elsewhere such as working\, school learning\, etc. Post-pandemic\, it appears that people will continue to opt to work or learn at home\, at least on a part-time (hybrid) basis if not full-time. Residential buildings need to respond to new reality of flexibility to provide openness when appropriate but separation when needed – both for functioning and for health. The issues are true for both new building design and construction as well as for the renovation of existing buildings. Large operable glass walls provide both linear and spatial options to open or isolate spaces. \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nExplain the welfare aspects of design and product selection that enable equitable access.\nAssess the safety aspects of incorporating product selections that protect buildings and people from harm and damage.\nIdentify and recognize the significance of ongoing health concerns related to residential design and product selection.\nDetermine ways to incorporate the design principles into single family building projects.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: RI Commercial Energy Code Updates
DESCRIPTION:1 LU | HSW \nPresented by CLEAResult \nZoom Registration \nCourse Description: This training will provide an overview of the energy code section of the Building Safety Act and changes in the Rhode Island Energy Code. The training will also discuss how the RISBC-8 Energy Code for commercial new construction\, renovations\, and repairs will be affected by the recent and upcoming changes to the national model code\, International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). This will cover critical information regarding significant code changes\, new provisions\, and related best practices and how the required code updates – particularly the energy code updates taken together with the mechanical code updates – are expected to benefit public health safety and welfare in commercial buildings. Some examples of performance issues that affect comfort are temperature extremes\, humidity extremes\, excessive airspeed from ventilation\, unpleasant odors\, and noise. These standards help to ensure safe air quality for occupants. \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nLearn about the energy code section of the Building Safety Act and changes to the Rhode Island Energy Code that will be required.\nExamine the impact of the upcoming code updates to the energy code compliance procedures.\nLearn about the upcoming energy code requirements for permit applications\, permit document sets\, and energy inspections.\nThe training will cover how the required code updates – particularly the energy code updates taken together with the mechanical code updates – are expected to benefit public health safety and welfare in commercial buildings.\nAn overview of the Rhode Island Energy Code Technical Support Initiative and Free Energy Code Technical Support will be discussed.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Air Source Heat Pumps
DESCRIPTION:1 LU | HSW \nPresented by CLEAResult \nZoom Registration \nCourse description:  The recent shift to electrification and better performing homes has resulted in increased popularity of air source heat pumps. As the industry shifts\, design professionals\, installers and homeowners need to understand the basic principles behind this technology to effectively provide adequate heating\, cooling\, and dehumidification in their projects. \nThis session will provide an overview of Air Source Heat Pumps\, which are a fast-growing portion of the residential HVAC market. Today’s ducted heat pumps and “mini split” systems can provide very efficient heating and cooling\, but only if they are well designed\, installed\, and operated. Hear about how proper sizing\, installation and operation can affect the indoor air quality along with the occupants’ health and wellbeing. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nEnergy Code and Critical Control Layers • The building science behind drying potential and how ASHP are an integral component in the future of the construction industry\nAir Source Heat Pump principles • The mechanisms behind how they work • The various types of ASHP – Ductless: wall mounted or hidden\, Ducted\, Heat pump water heaters\, and Heat pump dryers • Installation best practice • Myths and pitfalls to avoid\nSystem Design • The importance of load calculations and duct design • Design principles of Manual J\, Manual S\, and Manual D\nMechanical ventilation • Heating\, cooling and ventilation as a system\, exhaust only ventilation and balanced ventilation\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:WEBINAR:  One-and-Two Family Dwelling Energy Code
DESCRIPTION:1 LU | HSW \nPresented by CLEAResult \nZoom Registration \nCourse Description: A healthy home is a dry\, clean\, safe\, ventilated\, maintained\, and thermally controlled environment. On average people spend at least 50 percent of their day inside their homes. Unhealthy housing puts residents at risk of health issues such as asthma and other chronic diseases. Due to the age of the housing stock in Rhode Island\, residents are at greater risk of health issues associated with building design and housing conditions. \nChapter 11 of the International Residential Code covers energy efficiency\, but the requirements of this chapter can also have significant building science implications. RI will be adopting the 2024 IECC next year and understanding how these requirements affect the building science will be critical in designing and delivering safe\, healthy and energy efficient homes. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDurability – airtightness\, thermal resistance and vapor control all work together to mitigate moisture and condensation risk.\nHealthy Indoor Air Quality – airtightness combined with mechanical ventilation deliver superior air quality.\nComfort – thermal resistance produces consistent interior surface temperatures to ensure comfort.\nEnergy Efficiency – modulating these control layers properly will deliver a building that consumes less energy for space conditioning.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Brown University Lindemann Performing Arts Center Virtual Tour
DESCRIPTION:1 LU | HSW \nPresented by CLEAResult \nZoom Registration \nCourse Description:  This interactive virtual tour\, sponsored by Rhode Island Energy\, hosted by CLEAResult\, and presented by Stephen Turner Inc.\, will feature the newly constructed Lindemann Performing Arts Center at Brown University located in Providence\, Rhode Island. This six-story\, 101\,000 sf major performance space serves as a hub for music\, dance\, theater\, and multimedia arts on the University’s campus. This virtual tour will highlight the main performance hall and smaller performance and rehearsal hall spaces\, as well as the high-performance building features. The project was built to meet the requirements of the State Energy Code (SBC-8-2013). Using the performance compliance path\, the baseline building\, and proposed building energy modeling results were compared to project an estimated annual energy savings\, which will be a focus of the virtual tour \nThe training will cover how the required energy code taken together with the mechanical code benefit public health safety and welfare in commercial buildings. These standards help to ensure safe air quality for occupants. Visual acuity and acoustics are critical\, and thermal comfort and ventilation for acceptable indoor air quality must accommodate sudden and wide changes in occupancy. The systems controls to meet these needs are addressed in the virtual tour. \n  \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nLearn about the current commercial code versions\, energy code background and energy code compliance pathways.\nWe will discuss how the building was built to meet the requirements of the State Energy Code (SBC-8-2013)\, which references the 2012 version of the International Energy Conservation Code (2012 IECC) with RI Amendments – the code in effect at the time of permitting.\nDuring the virtual tour we will view the energy efficiency measures that were incorporated into the project design such as the HVAC equipment\, lighting and lighting controls systems\, and the high-performance building envelope.\noverview of the Rhode Island Energy Code Technical Support Initiative and Free Energy Code Technical Support will be given.
