Energy Conservation Construction
There’s more to it than just raising R-value
Approved for 0.5 CEU
Course Description & Details
Energy conservation isn’t all about insulation and the energy code. Choices made throughout the entire design and construction process can have an impact on the performance of the home. The IRC provides a variety of options to meet code that can have different energy impacts. Dimes add up to dollars and dollars add up to dinner, just the same, small gains in energy conservation can add up to lots of saved energy. Learn how to keep energy in mind through out the whole construction process, long before the insulation crew arrives.
Course Objectives
- Understand code provisions that reduce thermal bridges and increase insulation in the exterior envelope, such as single-ply and box headers, as well as single top plate construction and 24-inch-on-center wall spacing.
- Think outside the box about how various trades can enhance energy performance.
- Learn the complexities of providing certain air barriers and why they are essential to thermal performance.
