Energy efficiency is important in both new and existing homes. Nobody wants to waste money or be a burden on the enviornment. Tying efficiency standards to financing, well that is a dangerous slope to travel. Especially with regards to low income housing loans. HUD is looking to tie their financing requirements to the 2019 IECC code. This simple change can add between $18,000 to $30,000 to a new home. How does that help housing affordability? Wait until you hear how long it takes to pay that off. We discuss here. Thanks for listening!

Energy Codes are Getting Complicated! It's time for a simpler approach

Better Homes, Better Future

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 14, 2024 55:07


In the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), the primary residential provisions of the code (Chapter 4) consisted of four pages. That same chapter in the 2021 IECC is 21 pages long! Mandatory, prescriptive, performance, energy rating index, additional efficiency packages and UA trade-offs all combine to make IECC compliance complicated. Prescriptive compliance is increasingly more expensive and complicated to use, and the performance compliance option doesn't allow consideration for high efficiency equipment. The energy rating index path provides a whole-house performance approach but has aggressive targets that are complicated with amendments for ventilation requirements and no requirements for quality assurance oversight of third parties. If the energy code's primary purpose is to reduce energy consumption, why can't we set performance goals and let builders figure out how to achieve it? One recent example of this approach is in Texas. Texas House Bill 3215 updated the state's universal energy code compliance pathway to allow builders to use the energy rating index for energy code compliance across the state, in lieu of the state energy code or any stretch code adopted by municipalities. The legislation ratchets down target ERI scores to improve efficiency through 2028, allowing builders to plan for future efficiency requirements. Attend this webinar to learn how a simpler approach to energy code compliance can work, how it can be used to set a path to net-zero energy and how to implement it in your state. Learning Objectives: Learn about the changes and complexities of the IECC over time. Understand how the energy code can be simplified. Be able to describe how a simplified performance-based approach has worked in other states. Learn how a performance-based energy code approach can be used to get builders to net-zero homes more quickly.

States and local governments around the county have set ambitious climate goals that center net zero newly constructed buildings as a key component to meeting these goals. Two new models are now available to help jurisdictions achieve their climate goals: New York State Stretch Energy Code (NYStretch) and the Zero Energy Appendix in the 2021 IECC. The nearly finalized NYStretch development process has taken the recent IECC credits approach to the next level. This credit system provides flexibility and refocuses on decarbonization and resilience in buildings as the objective. The development of the NYStretch took a unique approach to cost analysis considering that electrifying now is cheaper than retrofit and future fuel projections are highly variable. The Zero Energy Homes (ZEH) Appendix to the IECC provides an off the shelf opportunity for both commercial and residential new construction. Additionally, the Inflation reduction Act will provide $670 million in aid for local adoption of the ZEH Appendix. Since the ZEH Appendix is published as part of the model IECC, it can be easily modified by adopting states and jurisdictions to better meet local climate goals, or by incentive programs or builders to meet their market demands. NBI is currently developing a guide to aid jurisdictions and program implementers in this process. Learning Objectives: 1. Understand opportunities through the Inflation Reduction Act for states and localities to improve energy code. 2. Explain how the Zero Energy Homes Appendix can be used to meet state and local net zero energy goals. 3. Identify how credits can be used to improve flexibility for builders while focusing on decarbonization and resilience 4.

“The trend is your friend.” -Mark Zweig    With Texas as the leading state in new home starts, we can expect some housing trends first to arise there. Why was House Bill 3215 developed and enacted in Texas? What entities and organizations participated in developing the language in the bill? How will this impact the HERS industry in Texas and elsewhere?   Joining us on today's podcast is Ned Munoz, V.P. of Regulatory Affairs and General Counsel at Texas Association of Builders, and James Rodriguez, Executive Vice President at Fox Energy Specialists. James shares with us the desire to set up a hybrid approach- that is, to introduce a second universal pathway of state energy compliance that is performance-based. Which means Texas now recognizes the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index scores as a standalone compliance pathway which untangles it from the current ICC/IRC versions of the energy rating index (ERI) pathway. Ned explains how the Texas Association of Builders recognizes the impact that mandated energy codes have on housing affordability while still encouraging energy-efficient home building and how these concepts influenced the wording of the bill. It's important to note that the State of Texas overlay energy code for single-family new construction was not updated or changed by the bill.  Below are the HERS Index pathway thresholds remaining in effect for 10 years. TIMELINE Climate Zone 2 HERS Index Climate Zone 3 HERS Index 09/1/19 to 08/31/22 63 63 09/1/22 to 08/31/25 59 59 09/1/25 to 08/31/28 57 57 09/1/28 to 09/01/31 55 55 Note: 2018 IECC mandatory items and building envelope thresholds must be upheld as part of these HERS scores.   LINKS: 2 articles on the topic: https://www.resnet.us/builders/hb3215/ https://www.foxenergyspecialists.com/news/texas-house-bill-hb-3215-to-take-effect-on-september-1st James Rodriguez on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-rodriguez-0523001/ Ned Munoz on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ned-mu%C3%B1oz-13a5606/ FAQs on TX HB: 3125: https://www.resnet.us/wp-content/uploads/HB-3215-FAQs_08062021.pdf The actual TX HB 3215: https://www.resnet.us/wp-content/uploads/87R-HB-3215-Enrolled-version.pdf   RESTalk: To the RESNET community, we hear you and want to engage.

Ed Fronapfel is a forensic engineer who I first met when he taught a thermography class I attended.  Later he became the student when he participated in an Energy Rater class I taught. Ed has built and sold several successful engineering companies on the back of his ability to distill information and present it in understandable ways. Over the years we have been discussing the disconnect between energy and fire codes in relation to shaft liner area separation wall design and function. I was starting to get involved with work being done to understand how to air seal the assembly to successfully pass blower door testing requirements of the IECC. Ed, in the meantime, had been working to be qualified as an expert witness in construction defect litigation. He now has been involved in over 80 trials in District and Federal Courts and provided over 800 depositions and hundreds of arbitrations.   Our paths crossed again at the Colorado Chapter of the ICC Education Institute, where we were both teaching, right before the Covid shutdown. I learned that Ed had an opportunity to fund some ASTM E119 burn testing on Shaft Liner wall assemblies and became the facilitator to organize and get the testing completed. As you can imagine we both have been frustrated not being able to speak to the results of the testing that was performed, and now that we can, I am very grateful to Ed for the opportunity I was given to be involved in this work, and the story you are about to listen to.

It doesn't matter the size of the house that's built, Builders are passionate about what they do. Zack Giffin demonstrates that in this conversation about tiny homes. In 2018 I happened to be at the code hearing where Appendix Q for tiny homes was adopted for the International Residential Code. This year I was asked by the state of Colorado to represent the energy code on a working group trying to figure out how to regulate the construction of tiny homes. It turns out that if they are built on foundations things seem to be fine, but when they are built on wheels there are issues that regulators and advocates must work out. Deciding if they are mobile homes or modular homes is the biggest issue, but in my world, the question is if they must abide by the International Energy Conservation Code. Some analysis has shown that they can easily meet the 2018 IECC using the Area Weighted U-value compliance alternative and the REScheck software, but now with the 2021 IECC tradeoffs are not as easy, and the insulation requirements would make the structure too tall to be on wheels. In Zack's world regulating energy use in a tiny home does not make sense due to its size. I found it interesting that the fundamental question came down to first cost the same argument that the NAHB uses when pushing back against energy code. Regardless, ultimately the best thing about my conversation with Zack was that we did not agree on everything, but we were willing to hear each other's views. I hope you enjoy your listen.

I have been involved with the development of the IECC since the 2015 code cycle. Traditionally the International Code Council develops construction and public safety codes through a governmental consensus process. For the 2024 IECC and Chapter 11 of the IRC, which is the residential IECC reprinted in the International Residential Code, has changed. An ANSI standard development process and consensus procedures will now be used for the development of the 2024 IECC. The resulting document will still be called the international Energy Conservation Code and will still be considered a Code, but the process of getting the next updated code is quite different. In this episode I explains the traditional code development process and the new development process and then speak with Gill Rossmiller, Hope Medina, Jay Crandell, Jim Meyers, Rob Salcido, and Tom Culp who are all deeply involved in the current 2024 IECC development to see how they think the new ANSI process is working.

Mark Attard Operations Manager at Hammer Well custom homes is helping to lead the company towards a commitment to building exceptional custom homes following passive house principles. In that effort, Mark gained significant building science knowledge that he has applied in a complete retrofit of his own 1990 vintage home. Starting at 17 ACH50, mark improved the thermal envelope, air tightness, mechanical and ventilation systems in his house following building principals he and his colleges at Hammer Well are now taking to all their projects. Mark however has gotten to see the fruits of his labor because the neighborhood where his house is located ended up protecting downtown Louisville from the recent Boulder County Marshall Fire. One house burned in Mark's neighborhood as firefighters defend the aera to ensure that the fire did not reach downtown Louisville. As you can imagine houses with air leakage in the 17 ACH50 range, All were smoke damaged. Mark's house faired differently, and it's story is the basis of this episode of the buildCAST.

What is Wi-Fi? Wi-Fi stands for wireless fidelity and means wireless connection area. As can be understood from the definition of wifi, it is a wifi signal area and you can access the internet wirelessly with tablets, phones, smartwatches, audio players, televisions, game consoles, and similar devices in this area. How Does Wi-Fi Work? Wi-Fi technology is the same as the working principle of transistor radios. In order for the Wi-Fi connection to be established, if a device that emits the signal at one end is at the other end, another device that can receive these signals and convert them to data is required. Let's consider how the wireless internet connection takes place in an average home: Devices such as routers, phones, or computers have hardware that can transmit the signal wirelessly. Router or modem creates a network by spreading the connection provided by your internet service provider at a frequency that your home devices can understand. Communication between devices that have Wi-Fi hardware such as a computer or smartphone and are allowed to access this connection is through the signal exchange, enabling wireless data exchange. When Was Wifi Released? The key invention for Wi-Fi technology is a set of local area network standards referred to as IEEE 802.11. Based in the USA, these standards announced by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, an international non-governmental organization, in 1997, were further developed in the following years and the speed and capacity of the connection were increased. The standardization performed by the IECC on this issue is very important. Before 1999, when Wi-Fi technology started to be marketed, there were technologies that can provide a wireless connection between devices, but since there is no standard, incompatibility between these technologies created various difficulties in use. The development of a technical standard has enabled different technology manufacturers to use this technology effectively and widely, and many products with Wi-Fi capability to enter the consumer market. What is Wifi Bandwidth? Wi-Fi technology works by means of radio signals. Bandwidth refers to the range of radio frequency that enables wireless data transmission. The specified range for the wireless network connection is between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Wi-Fi radio waves are generally at either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz frequency. The biggest difference between the two frequencies is that a device with a frequency of 5 GHz can emit a signal to half the area of 2.4 GHz. In addition, the 5GHz frequency signal cannot cross solid objects such as walls and the connection will be interrupted. However, data is transferred much faster at a frequency of 5 GHz.

“You do the best you can with what’s thrown at you, then you try again.”   -Mario Andretti     What does the Highway Bill, or HR 2 have to do with builders and raters?   What has happened to the “builders tax credit” over the course of the last few months and what is store as we head towards and through the upcoming presidential election?     Better known as 45L, Section 45L(c)(1)(A) and (B) of the US Internal Revenue Code (developed by David Goldstein of the NRDC), offers a $2,000 federal tax credit to builders for each energy efficient home they build and sell. As you may know the credit has lived an unsteady life, being on again and off again over the years since its inception, making it difficult for builders to act on this with certainty.   It’s important to realize that the trillion dollar Moving Forward package proposed by the Democratic House Caucus contains a proposal to amend the 45L tax credit, and create a performance based path, tied to the IECC.     Join us as we discuss 45L with Carl Chidlow, a registered federal lobbyist and Steve Baden and learn of the history, perspectives and future opportunities of this tax credit.   Hear about the over 300 RESNET small business owners who signed a letter to Congress in support of this and how you can get involved.   RESNET has created an advocate toolkit found here: https://www.resnet.us/about/advocacy/ with the tools and guidance on how to contact your member of Congress and promote issues important to the membership.     While COVID-19 makes in person meetings almost impossible Congressional staff are still working remotely and have adapted to using conference calls and technology (eg ZOOM) to engage with constituents.  Environmental stewardship is going to be a touchstone issue for the next four years.   RESTalk: To the RESNET community, we hear you and want to engage.   Pros can learn more at www.RESNET.us/professional  Consumers can learn more at www.RESNET.us Or for more info on this topic contact RESNET at INFO@RESNET.US

What do opportunities lie for HERS raters in a code world?   Yes, podcast listener someone likes you and will share the code.     Chris McTaggart (The BER) and Ryan Meres (RESNET) join us on the podcast to detail out the HERS Rater’s role in Energy Code compliance. The International Code Council now offers a new combination designation, the IECC/HERS Compliance Specialist. To qualify you must be a current RESNET HERS Rater and hold the Residential Energy Inspector/Plans Examiner Certification (79). We learn how this designation combines the energy code knowledge of code officials with the energy efficiency knowledge of HERS Raters to provide more powerful advice in energy plan review and inspection. This new credential leverages the strengths of both RESNET and IECC to increase the number of qualified personnel available for evaluating energy code compliance and home energy performance. They explain how an IECC/HERS Compliance Specialist demonstrates their competence in energy performance measurement and energy code proficiency. In areas where jurisdictions face resource constraints, these certified specialists can supplement the work in this dual role. Topics we cover include HERS rater involvement with duct and envelope leakage testing and the R405 performance path compliance. Both Chris and Ryan cover a few on the myths and misconceptions they have encountered along the way as this designation has developed.   For more info you can review the topic on the IECC website: http://bit.ly/IECC-HERS      RESTalk: To the RESNET community, we hear you and want to engage.   Pros can learn more at www.RESNET.us/professional  Consumers can learn more at www.RESNET.us Or for more info on this topic contact RESNET at INFO@RESNET.US

California Dreamin’ - RESNET HERS® Ratings Soon to be Recognized in California   It’s shown and proved that hard work pays off. Make goals, achieve them, make new goals. -Lance Gross Ryan Meres (RESNET) and Matt Christie (Associate Director, TRC) join us to review the five-year journey where RESNET and the California Energy Commission (CEC) have been working together to bring the California and RESNET energy rating standards into harmony.  Listen in as we learn about the recent changes to the California energy code (Title 24), including a new compliance path called the Energy Design Rating (EDR), which move the two rating systems into closer alignment.    Matt reviews the progress on the four major pillars are being addressed. For example, both systems need to use the same reference home (based on the 2006 IECC) to create a score. We will also hear about some of the driving forces behind these changes as well as the variations that will make the EDR and RESNET HERS scores different.    The discussion also touches on net zero energy buildings and the tie in with on-site power systems and batteries noted in the HERS score These efforts will bring the RESNET HERS index closer into alignment with the California energy code as well as provide an example by which future versions of the IECC could be modeled to achieve a net zero energy code for the rest of the country.    You can reach Matt through TC at www.TRCcompanies.com and you can reach Ryan at Ryan@RESNET.us   RESTalk: To the RESNET community, we hear you and want to engage.   Pros can learn more at www.RESNET.us/professional  Consumers can learn more at www.RESNET.us Or for more info on this topic contact RESNET at INFO@RESNET.US

As governments of all scales consider options for meeting deep greenhouse gas reduction goals, attention has turned to how to achieve higher performance design from new construction in the building sector, which is responsible for more than 40% of emissions in most urban areas. In Texas specifically, the 2015 IECC has been a game changer and a huge learning curve for designers and builders alike. In this episode Jason shares his experiences and helps us understand the opportunities for various building officials, builders and contractors to improve their understanding of the codes, the building science behind the codes and, ultimately, the efficiency of the facilities they build and inspect.

This podcast features two key members of the ANSI/ASHRAE/IES 90.1 Lighting Subcommittee that establishes lighting power density levels for this foundational standard.  The discussion reveals and explains to our lighting community a new project that is funded by ASHRAE, IALD, BC Hydro and the IES.  Project tasks will support the work of the 90.1 standard by providing AGI32 modeling runs by application.  These models will improve the accuracy of and strengthen the effectiveness of this and the other standards affected by 90.1.  It is a concern especially because LED luminaires are now being used as the primary baseline to establish LPD’s instead of traditional sources.  This has resulted in significant energy savings but there is an end game.  The partners want to verify that the quality of lighting is not impacted in future versions of 90.1 and the other standards that reference it. Michael Myer has been with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) for 11 years. Prior to coming to PNNL Michael was a practicing lighting designer with Naomi Miller Lighting Design and before that Hayden McKay Lighting Design. Michael’s work at PNNL includes energy codes and appliance standards as well as market transformation related to parking and interior lighting. Michael has been an active member of the IES and is current co-chair working on the revised version of DG-18, a member of the Energy Management Committee, and has participated in a task group related to parking lighting. Marty Salzberg worked as an architectural lighting consultant for more than thirty years. Her work was honored with multiple industry awards for design and energy efficiency. As a member of the Illuminating Engineering Society, Marty has been a member of the Library Lighting Committee since 2003 and is currently the committee Chair. Marty is a Professional Member of the IALD, where she contributes to the work of the Energy & Sustainability Committee by serving as the IALD representative to the ASHRAE/IES 90.1 energy standard development committee. She recently served on the IALD committee to edit the Guidelines for Specification Integrity, teaches about the NYC Energy Code at BEEx and is teaching lighting design at the New York School of Interior Design. Kelly Seeger is Technical Policy Manager for Signify where she leads building codes and standards activities for North America, advising company business groups, market teams, and researchers on implications for products and systems from pre-development through installation. She serves as Lighting Subcommittee Chair of ASHRAE SSPC 90.1 and is also active in the development of CA T24 and IECC and is involved with key organizations relevant to building efficiency, green building standards & codes, energy rating and benchmarking, and smart buildings. Kelly has worked in lighting and energy efficiency in the U.S. for nearly twenty years; her experience includes lighting design and application, strategic planning, a voice of customer and market analysis, presentation and training, and energy efficiency & transformative market consulting.

Radd's Basement: Nerd Culture Podcast

This week I welcome to the show one of my dearest friends, really more than a friend, he's more like family. It's former Gaming FM founding member, Dilip Trivedi! He and I share literally a lifetime of nerd memories and experiences together, so we talk about them today. First we discuss our love of gaming and game soundtracks, which led to us working together for years on Gaming FM. Next, we talk about our trip to L.A. to knock around E3 back in 2003. We also discuss our mutual love of Star Trek and the difficulty choosing a super hero TV show to watch these days. Finally we discuss how different our lives would be if we'd never met. But mostly, it's a mini-Gaming FM reunion, and a heck of a lot of fun! Special thanks to Dilip's wife Angela who sat by patiently while we discussed our nerdy memories for two hours while managing not to go into labor. Be sure to give your congrats to them on their upcoming bundle of joy! Also, Dilip was good enough to provide me with a copy of the Flash animation he created when we launched Gaming FM in 2003!
