Learn more about ventilation and best practices for its design and installation in high performance buildings. This training helps familiarize attendees with prescriptive dedicated outside air system (DOAS) code requirements, which are now mandated for certain building types by the 2015 Washington State Energy Code.  Training topics include:

• Understanding HRVs, ERVs, cross flow and counter flow, and wheels

• Best practices for a range of building types

• HRV sizing and specification guidelines

• Ventilation standards for today and the future

• Duct design and control options

• Controls for CAV, DCV, and VAV flow options, and building control integration

• Retrofit opportunities using DOAS and high-performance heating and cooling

In less than a week, performance metrics for all building types will be updated in Portfolio Manager, including 1-100 ENERGY STAR scores and other source energy metrics.

These new metrics will be applied across all time periods, which means your scores and metrics for all historical benchmarking data will change. Once this happens, EPA will not be able to provide “before and after” score changes for individual buildings or portfolios.

If you anticipate needing to document changes, it is strongly recommended that you document your pre-update scores and download your data NOW. You may need them for third-party certifications, local mandates, or other incentive programs.
