CEUs: 3 RESNET

This course provides the required credit for Certified Energy Modelers and HERS Raters to meet software training CEU requirements! It guides you through the water efficiency items found in most structures as well as those less common items such as recirculation systems and drain water heat recovery. You will learn how to calculate piping distances for various plumbing types, how to find and record water efficient items, how to determine from plans what type of plumbing system is expected, and the differences in accounting for these systems for single family versus multi-family structures. A description of and calculations for the new Hot Water Distribution System Compactness Factor from the 2021 IECC is included as part of this training.

Water efficiency is the concept of being smart about how we use water and how we heat water. From an energy model perspective, being water efficient also results in the home or unit being more energy efficient, and the energy model will reflect that, if those water efficiency items are included in the energy model. This course helps you understand why water efficiency is important, what items promote water and energy savings and which items reduce effiency and how to model these. You will understand how to determine the efficiency of faucets and showers, how to determine water pipe insulation values, how to calculate pipe lengths, and how to recognize and model recirculation systems and their controls as well as drain water heat recovery systems. This course also covers the new Hot Water Distribution System Compactness Factor found in the 2021 IECC and how that is, or is not included in your energy model.×

This course qualifies for the RESNET Requirement for Certified HERS Raters and Certified HERS Energy Modelers to obtain training in their software tool for REM/Rate and for Ekotrope software! Get your CEU’s and meet your requirement for recertification!
