2021 Energy Code Update Series – Service Water Heating The April 17 webinar will cover water heating provisions of the 2021 Seattle and Washington state energy codes for commercial and multifamily buildings, highlighting requirements that are new or changed from the early code drafts, and the differences between the Seattle and state codes. Discussion topics will include the new “fossil fuel compliance path,” Appendix M pipe sizing, post-occupancy commissioning, options for replacement of existing water heating equipment, C406 credits for advanced hot water systems, pipe insulation, and smoothing your plumbing permitting process, followed by time for Q&A. |
Unlock HVAC Energy Savings and Save Money by Integrating Lighting Controls Many commercial buildings waste energy by conditioning unoccupied spaces, because their HVAC systems lack occupancy sensors. A simple lighting retrofit can solve this problem, when the new networked lighting control (NLC) system provides occupancy data to the BMS. The DLC’s free Integration Toolkit can help you cut energy costs and stay ahead of Building Emissions Performance Standards by conditioning spaces only when needed. 2021 Energy Code Update Series – Alterations This 90-minute webinar on May 15 will summarize the “alterations” requirements of the Seattle and Washington state energy codes and offer suggestions for potential design solutions. It will provide an overview of the alterations provisions of Chapter 5, with a special focus on replacing existing gas or electric resistance space heating and water heating systems with heat pump systems. Alterations to envelope, lighting, electrical, metering, and HVAC systems will also be covered, as well as Seattle’s “substantial alterations” rules. The webinar will conclude with a substantial Q&A period for discussion of specific applications.
