Built Green Project Basics
Breakout 3: 2–3 p.m.

This four-part training will provide an overview of the Built Green certification program, incorporating effective air control layers, and the implications of HVAC on airtight homes. This session is intended for project and construction site managers and code inspectors, it will give practical advice on not just how to detail these areas, but also how to manage a project and one’s team to set them up for success.

In Parts 3 and 4, Josh will talk about the implications of HVAC on air tight homes. We will speak on the science behind balanced ventilation and distribution systems and the potential pitfalls that can occur if not done right. We will also talk about how the building's enclosure affects the heating and cooling system design and performance.
