Karpman Consulting LLC	110: Performance-based Compliance with ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2016	ASHRAE 90.1 Performance Compliance	8 NYSDOS In-service, AIA LU/HSW credits	This 8-hour training focuses on ASHRAE Standard 90.1 Section 11 Energy Cost Budget Method and Appendix G Performance Rating Method, which are the compliance options under 2020 Energy Conservation Construction Code of New York State (ECCCNYS-2020) for commercial buildings. It describes the energy modeling requirements for building envelope, lighting, HVAC, service water heating and miscellaneous other systems, highlighting similarities and differences between 90.1 Section 11 and Appendix G, and goes over 90.1 mandatory requirements that projects must meet. The training also covers the special rules for renovations, core and shell and tenant fit-out projects, and the requirements that are often overlooked such as the handling of renewable energy, combined heat and power (CHP), district heating and cooling systems, elevators, and commercial and industrial equipment. In addition, the training goes over the changes to ASHRAE Standard 90.1 Section 11 and Appendix G included in the NYStretch Energy Code-2020 supplement and the 2020 New York City Energy Conservation Code. The presentation segments are followed by live polls and interactive discussions. The target audience includes code officials, reviewers of modeling-based submittals for code compliance and beyond code programs, energy modelers, and members of design teams.	https://karpmanconsulting.net/110
Karpman Consulting LLC	210: Compliance Documentation for ASHRAE 90.1 Section 11 and Appendix G	ASHRAE 90.1 Performance Compliance	2 NYSDOS In-service, AIA LU/HSW credits	This 2-hour training explains the reporting requirements for projects that used ASHRAE Standard 90.1 Section 11 or Appendix G and covers the documentation that must be submitted to code officials or beyond-code program administrators. It provides instructions on how to fill out the DOE/PNNL Compliance Form that can be used for documenting minimum compliance with 90.1 2016, NYCECC-2020, LEED v4.1 and LEED v4 Pilot Alternative Compliance Path, the EPA ENERGY STAR® program for new multifamily buildings, and various incentive programs. The training covers productivity tips, efficient workflow, common mistakes, and best practices. The target audience includes code officials, reviewers of modeling-based submittals for code compliance and beyond code programs, energy modelers and members of design teams.	https://karpmanconsulting.net/210
Karpman Consulting LLC	212: Review of the Modeling-based Submittals for ASHRAE 90.1 Section 11 and Appendix G	ASHRAE 90.1 Performance Compliance	8 NYSDOS In-service, AIA LU/HSW credits	This 8-hour training is targeted toward building officials, beyond code program administrators, and other professionals tasked with the approval of energy modeling submittals for performance-based compliance, as well as energy modelers for internal quality control. It covers strategies for performing effective and efficient reviews of modeling-based submittals including identifying the impactful aspects of design to help prioritize the review effort and the key review steps including checking submittals for completeness; confirming that building systems and components shown in the Compliance Form reflect design documents; validating that the configuration of the baseline (budget) design model is established correctly based on the applicable rules of ASHRAE 90.1; establishing that, based on the simulation reports, the baseline (budget) and proposed designs were modeled as described in the Compliance Form; and that the compliance outcome is established correctly based on the modeling results. It demonstrates QC features of DOE/PNNL Compliance Form and helps modelers establish internal quality control procedures to reduce the number of review iterations when submitting to above code programs or for code compliance. The training includes multiple examples based on real life projects to illustrate how to apply review strategies and steps described in the DOE/PNNL Submittal Review Manual, use simulation reports to review energy models, and to communicate review comments to modelers and design teams. The training also covers the additional review checks for projects following the NYStretch Energy Code-2020.	https://karpmanconsulting.net/212
Karpman Consulting LLC	213: Integrating Performance-based Compliance into the Design Process	ASHRAE 90.1 Performance Compliance, high performance buildings	4 NYSDOS In-service, AIA LU/HSW credits	This 4-hour training illustrates the use of energy modeling following the framework of ASHRAE Standard 209 – Computer Simulation Aided Design throughout design development process including the schematic design, construction document, and compliance documentation phases. It focuses on design decisions made at different stages of design that may lead to projects failing to comply with code and the impact of space and service water heating fuel source on compliance. The training includes examples of designs that may not meet code due to recent changes to Standard 90.1 and additional requirements in NYStretch Energy Code-2020 and 2020 NYCECC, such as the envelope backstop. The target audience for the training includes energy modelers and design professionals.	https://karpmanconsulting.net/213
