Description:
This lecture will walk through prescriptive and performance-based means of meeting the IECC 2018 commercial envelope requirements. This will include an overview of the upcoming changes in the 2021 and 2024 code cycles for commercial buildings. The session will cover the different layers and performance criteria to adhere to the current and future energy codes. The training will include why the requirements are there and the energy impacts of a leaky or poorly sealed envelope. The discussion is relevant to architects specifying commercial envelope layers and mechanical engineers who use envelope tightness estimates for sizing heating and cooling loads.
Bio:
Damon Woods
Dr. Woods is a licensed mechanical engineer who started working at the IDL as a graduate student back in 2013. His dissertation used energy models paired with weather forecasts to predict how a radiant slab should be managed to maximize occupant comfort. His current research focus is on the integration of surface temperatures into building energy management systems. Dr. Woods has taught courses in advanced thermodynamics and energy modeling. In the office, he spends his time working on energy models and estimating savings from energy upgrades; out of the office he is usually fly fishing or gardening. Dr. Woods earned his B.S. from Montana State University, his M.S. from Boise State University and his Ph.D. from the University of Idaho.
