2019 Title 24 Part 6 - Residential Essentials Training

2019 Title 24 Part 6 Essentials - Residential Standards for Plans Examiners and Building Inspectors (open for contractors, architects, energy raters, etc.)

This interactive, "hands-on" course is designed to provide Plans Examiners and Building Inspectors with the knowledge and skills needed to more quickly and effectively enforce the Energy Code for residential projects.

Objectives:

• Identify Residential construction's "top six" areas of typical greatest impact on Energy Code compliance.
• Identify "essential" Plans Examiner and Building Inspector review tasks associated with top Energy Code compliance categories, and describe how review strategy shifts based on project type (Performance vs Prescriptive; New Construction vs Additions vs Alterations).
• Use given Plans Examiner and Building Inspector checklists to guide review, and identify where checklist line items correspond to compliance documentation, Plan Set drawings, and observed on-site conditions.
• Use Plans Examiner and Building Inspector Checklists and task prioritization strategies to perform a plan check or building inspection that is appropriate given your time available, realities on the job, & goals of Title 24, Part 6.
• Practice ways to address non-compliance, as well as methods for communicating effectively, during plan check and building inspection phases.
