This course highlights the energy modeling requirements for Seattle and Washington State 2018 energy code compliance as well as ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G – the new modeling standard. Seattle and Washington specific compliance tools have been developed by the DOE to help designers and reviewers apply the new standard. A brief demo of these tools will be provided to demonstrate the functionality and value of these resources. (We will not be teaching how to do energy modeling or how to use Appendix G.)

Learning objectives

At the conclusion of this seminar, participants should be able to:

  • Understand and apply the 2018 WSEC and SEC specific energy code requirements at a high level.
  • Understand and apply the C407 modeling pathway, and the new standard ASHRAE 90.1 - Appendix G at a high level.
  • Know what to expect for compliance tool workflow and functionality with the DOE Appendix G Compliance Tool
  • Understand the benefits of using the compliance tool and how it can positively impact both building design and the energy code permit process.
