MA Commercial Stretch Energy Code: Targeted & Relative Performance Paths (Part 1)
Timing: Tuesday, July 30 @ 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. EDT
Location: Online - Webinar
Under the new Massachusetts Stretch Code, 225 CMR 23, new commercial buildings over 20,000 square feet must use a performance path for compliance. This two-part training series focuses on the two most common performance-based compliance options, Targeted Performance and Relative Performance. The Targeted Performance path requires projects to use energy modeling to demonstrate compliance with the heating and cooling Thermal Energy Demand Intensity (TEDI) targets.
The Relative Performance path is based on ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G Performance Rating Method with Massachusetts amendments. This training will go over the energy modeling requirements of both compliance options, requirements other than energy modeling that projects must meet, documentation that must be submitted to code officials, and special rules for retrofits, additions, and core-and-shell projects. Must take Parts 1 and 2.
