The Wisconsin Energy Code Technical Advisor will be demonstrating three common Energy Diagnostic Tests:

• Blower Door Air Infiltration Test
• Duct Leakage To Outside Test
• Total Duct Leakage Test

SPS 322.37 requires either a Visual Inspection or an infiltration number of 7 Air Changes/Hour. SPS 322.43 requires a duct tightness test be conducted at either rough-in or post construction if any part of the duct system is outside of conditioned space. These demonstrations are intended to show that the testing procedures are simple and widely used across the industry. They will occur in newly completed homes, so to keep the spaces clean, all attendees must wear provided shoe coverings.

Please Note:

• Attendees must bring their own personal protective equipment (PPE), including hard hats, safety boots, and any other required gear.
• A waiver must be signed on-site on the day of the demonstration.

This 3-hour session will review the residential energy conservation requirements of Chapter SPS322 as written in the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code, chapter by chapter. The presentation will be an in-depth review of the currently adopted residential energy code and amendments. 3 hours continuing education.

Learning Objectives:

1-Identify significant changes to the residential energy code as adopted

2-Describe the science behind building energy efficiency, occupant comfort and productivity

3-Identify the energy code provisions with high impact but low compliance rates

4-Understand how reduced air infiltration rate requirements will impact design, construction, and code enforcement

This 1 1/2-hour course reviews the building science and building code requirements as they pertain to proper air sealing of buildings and homes. It highlights the common areas of air leakage within a structure and how to mitigate or minimize that leakage, and touches on the lesser-known areas of concern. 1 hour continuing education.

Learning Objectives:

1-Define air barrier

2-Describe and explain the difference between air barrier materials

3-Be able to identify potential areas of air leakage in a home

4-Understand the code criteria for air barriers and where they are required to be installed 5-Recognize the code requirements for air infiltration testing

Large commercial buildings are common in large urban areas, and while less common in suburban and rural areas, they have large per-building energy impacts. This 1 1/2-hour program will prepare contractors, design professionals and code enforcement officials to ensure their work results in buildings with better-than-average energy use intensities. 1 hour of continuing education.
