Introduction to Building Envelope Assessment and Weatherization, April 14, Norwood, Massachusetts
Event Description
In the introductory class (April 14 or May 6), the Massachusetts Energy Efficiency Partnership will start with envelope basics: the 4 control layers, insulation types, and air barrier principals. Then, the Massachusetts Energy Efficiency Partnership will cover evaluation techniques and auditing the envelope of existing commercial and institutional buildings. In the intermediate class (May 7), the Massachusetts Energy Efficiency Partnership will go over the most common envelope improvements and cover challenges and potential risks with implementation. Massachusetts Energy Efficiency Partnership will also go deeper into the techniques used to evaluate and prioritize building envelope opportunities, including energy modeling and cost estimating. In both classes, the Massachusetts Energy Efficiency Partnership will discuss approaches to selling building envelope upgrades. There will be activities throughout where students will work in teams to practice what they have learned.
