Mr. Dodd will highlight aspects of the Standards that are new under the 2008 Standards.

Topics slated for discussion include:
- Time dependent valuation of electricity and gas
- Refrigerated warehouses
- Prescriptive heat loss/gain equations
- Fenestration U-factors for Windows and Skylights
- Fenestration Solar Heat Gain Coefficients (SHGC) for Windows and Skylights
- Prescriptive limitations on glazing area
- Insulation requirements
- New and changed Cool Roof requirements
- Portable buildings and relocatable classrooms
- Revised mandatory Skylight requirements
- Revised calculation procedures
Audience LevelThis is an intermediate program. Mr. Dodd will cover recent changes to the California Title 24 Energy Standards for nonresidential and high-rise residential buildings. Participants are assumed to have some familiarity with the Title 24 requirements for the building envelope.
