SUMMARY:WEBINAR:  Window Codes and Standards Overview
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n1 LU | HSW \nPresented by Pella\, a Chapter Patron \nZoom Registration \nCourse Description: Windows and doors are an integral part of making great buildings. They help to define the architecture of the building elevation while providing protection from the elements\, letting in light\, and maintaining a connection to the outside world. They are also a key component in building safety and usability. We will look at accessibility guidelines\, egress\, and other code related issues in this overview of the different codes and standards you need to be aware of when making window and door design decisions. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nProvide an overview of the organizations that develop the codes and standards governing windows and doors\nReview the fundamentals of window and door air\, water\, and structural performance\nDiscuss the fundamentals of window and door energy performance\nUnderstand window and door life safety and accessibility requirements\, and use in the enhancement of interior environments

DESCRIPTION:Offered by Rhode Island Energy \nFor more information and to Register \nEngineering RCEP\, AIA and Building Official 1PDH or 1CEU available  \nApril 12\, 2023 AM Session: CLEAResult Jon Erickson – Residential Air Source Heat Pumps Course Description: The recent shift to electrification and better performing homes has resulted in increased popularity of air source heat pumps. As the industry shifts\, both builders and homeowners need to understand the basic principles behind this technology to effectively provide adequate heating\, cooling and dehumidification i their homes. This presentation will cover four primary topics: \n\nEnergy Code and Critical Control Layers\nAir Source Heat Pump Principles\nSystem Design\nMechanical Ventilation\n\nPM Session: Viessmann – Fundamentals & Application of Outdoor Reset This presentation will explore outdoor reset as it applies to building heating. The following topics will be discussed:• Heat Transfer from boiler to the outdoors and what drives the process.• When the balance in the heat transfer process changes\, how is it controlled?• How does a heating curve work into the process and how is it selected?• What additional equipment is needed.• Why should outdoor reset be used and how outdoor reset can be controlled. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nExplain the heat flow process from burner to outdoors.\nList the benefits of outdoor reset.\nExplain how outdoor reset works.\nDescribe the process of selecting a heating curve for an application.\n\nAM Sessions will be followed by a tour of Viessmann’s residential and commercial Boiler Room training labs\, and rooftop solar array. \nA complimentary lunch will then be provided. \nSchedule: \n9:00 AM – 9:30 AM – Registration & Introduction to Viessmann in the foyer \n9:30 AM – 11:00 AM – Session \n11:00 AM – 12:00 PM – Tour of Residential & Commercial Boiler Room training labs and rooftop solar array \n12:00 PM – 2:00 PM – Session #2 (with complimentary lunch) \nPlease choose only one day\, April 12 or 13.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR:  Virtual Tour: URI Fascitelli Center for Advanced Engineering
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 Fascitelli Center for Advanced Engineering at University of Rhode Island located in Kingston\, Rhode Island. This 186\,000-gsf\, six-story facility filled with open\, natural lit spaces\, which were the centerpiece of the buildings design to enhance collaboration. It also features a beautiful spiral staircase that connects between floors. The project was designed and built to comply with the requirements of LEED 2009 for New Construction and Major Renovation and has recently achieved LEED Silver certification. \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: HVAC equipment\, air distribution systems and other energy efficient measures such as lighting and exterior systems.\nA summary of how technical support and the code enhancement incentive helped in establishing a higher level of compliance.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: The Science and Sustainability of Solar Heat & Light Control with Metalized Fabric Shades for Maximum Building Occupant Comfort
DESCRIPTION:1 LU | HSW \nPresented by Apex Lighting + Building Solutions \nZoom Registration \nCourse Description: This course provides a detailed description of design solutions using new technology\, high performance fabrics in interior shading. The focus of the presentation is to provide clarification based on science that assist the specifier in choosing the best solutions for combining occupant wellness with design intent. This presentation outlines the technical as well as aesthetic properties of specialized technical fabric versus standard fabrics for light and heat control. \nLearning Objectives:      \n\nDevelop design strategies to connect building occupants to the outdoors through nature views while effectively controlling heat and glare thus maximizing occupant productivity.\nUnderstand how user discomfort from glare is a product of the total light transmission\, the combination of direct and diffused light\, entering through the window.\nIdentify opportunities to control solar heat gain thereby promoting the ability to “right-size” HVAC equipment in the building design to maintain a comfortable air temperature while promoting the physical wellbeing of occupants.\nAddress building occupant safety through inhalation exposure by detailing interior environmental concerns such as neural levels of VOCs\, antimicrobial properties\, LEED v4 guidelines and manufacturer material disclosure in fabric shade design solutions.
