SUMMARY:Strategic & Cost-Effective Step Code Compliance for Part 9 Buildings - Kelowna
DESCRIPTION:You’ve likely attended one or more Step Code info sessions but\, as a result\, do you have a strategy in place for achieving your project Step Code targets cost effectively? You’re convinced that airtightness is a key element to success but what about windows\, wall assemblies\, and mechanical systems? Will you be relying solely on the direction of your energy consultant for the selection of these components or would you prefer the driver’s seat? \nThis half-day course will not only enhance your comprehension of the Step Code for Part 9 buildings\, it will enable you to prioritize the energy conservation measures you consider for your projects based on construction cost and energy impact.  Using a combination of lecture and some hands-on participation for practical elements\, you will: \n\nUnderstand the Step Code performance targets\, and to what extent their achievement is influenced by:\n\nBuilding envelope components (windows\, wall assemblies\, etc.)\nBuilding airtightness\nHVAC equipment selections\n\n\nImprove your ability to:\n\nFacilitate an efficient design and documentation cycle\, from acquisition of development permit through to submission of the building permit application\nEnsure design details\, particularly related to airtightness\, are successfully implemented in the field\n\n\nLearn to predict which Step Code projects will be especially challenging\nBe able to identify and rank the most cost effective measures for achieving Step Code targets\, and estimate corresponding cost premiums\nExpand your knowledge about high efficiency mechanical systems and their relevance to Step Code\, including:\n\nCommon and not-so-common options for hot water heating\, space conditioning and ventilation\nProper application\, selection\, and installation of equipment\n\n\n\nInstructors \nMikhael Horvath is a professional engineer and the director of Enforma Engineering Inc.\, which specializes exclusively in energy code compliance analysis and testing for both Part 9 and Part 3 buildings.  Since 2016\, Enforma has completed over 600 projects in three provinces\, and saved builders more than $2 million dollars in construction costs by using energy modeling based compliance strategies.  Prior to specializing as an energy consultant\, Mikhael practiced for over a decade as an HVAC and plumbing design engineer\, working on building types ranging from residential to industrial. \nTomas Minka is a principal at Invictus Construction Ltd.\, a Victoria based design-build construction company\, and owner of Micoma Consulting Ltd.
