3CREN: Integrated Design & Commissioning for Non-Res Title 24 Compliance Pt. 2
2020-09-17 09:00 - 22:30 | CA
We’ll go through the top 10 compliance areas that frequently snag a plan review for non-residential energy code compliance, and discuss how to get it right the first time. Whether you’re an applicant or a plan checker, you’ll want to know what to look for, how to avoid common mistakes and how to make sure you have accurate compliance forms.
An important aspect is building commissioning (Cx), a process to ensure that our non-residential buildings perform and operate as designed. Rather than seeing Cx as one more burden, we’ll talk about efficiently meeting the requirements and enjoying the short-term and long-term benefits.
