C.01 MA Commercial Stretch Energy Code: Targeted & Relative Performance Paths (Part 1)

Learning objectives:

• Understand MA Commercial Stretch Energy Code compliance options and their applicability to different building occupancy types
• Articulate energy modeling requirements of the Relative Performance Path, and where they deviate from the ASHRAE 90.1 Performance Rating Method
• Articulate the energy modeling requirements of the Targeted Performance Path (TEDI) and understand sample envelope designs that were shown to comply with TEDI
• Understand how to use energy modeling results to demonstrate compliance with the Relative and Targeted Performance Paths
• Understand the applicability of the performance-based compliance options to retrofits, core-and-shell projects and additions
• Describe energy code requirements that projects following the performance paths of compliance must meet in addition to energy modeling
• List the documentation that must be submitted to code officials for projects following performance paths of compliance
