Energy Code Compliance: Using HERS Measures (Part 1)

Third-party verification through HERS measures is a great way to improve energy performance and, more to the point, meet the Title 24 Energy code. In this two-part course, we’ll cover what architects and builders need to know to successfully integrate HERS measures into residential design and construction. Part 1 will provide an overview of HERS verification, show how it fits into the building code and address envelope-related HERS measures.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn the roles and communication points for integrating HERS measures into permit plans, Title 24 documents and construction schedules.
  • Identify the library of HERS measures and which are Mandatory/Prescriptive, and which are optional for use in Performance compliance.
  • Understand the requirements for Quality Insulation Installation (QII) and tips for passing the first time.
  • Learn the process for checking Air Leakage and how to use the tools at key construction milestones.
