Course Title: NYC Energy Conservation Code 2020, NY Stretch and Energy Efficiency Measures

Delivery Method: Live Online

Course Description: This three-hour live presentation defines and differentiates the laws, codes, and standards applicable to energy conservation in New York City, identifies the drivers of energy use and carbon emissions, demonstrates the application of heat pumps (air source, ground source, ducted central system), the application of continuous insulation, and describes the benefits of high efficiency window assemblies.

Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Learning will be able to define and differentiate the laws, codes, and standards applicable to energy conservation in New York City: Local Law 97, ASHRAE standard 90.1, NYSERDA 2031 Net-Zero Carbon Building Code, NYC Energy Conservation Code, and the NY Stretch Energy Code.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to identify continuous insulation, the importance of a building’s thermal envelope and perform air barrier testing.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to incorporate high-efficiency windows into their designs depending on their needs (double-paned low-E, Argon-filled, triple-paned, etc.) by identifying U-factors, SHGC, and air leakage rates.
