Join our Efficiency Vermont expert, Steve O'Malley, for an overview of Vermont's 2020 Commercial Building Energy Standards (CBES). This will be an intermediate to advanced training for architects, engineers, designers, and others working closely on commercial new construction projects in Vermont. Time allocated for Q&A with the presenter as part of this training.

1) Overview of 2020 VT CBES requirements

2) detailed information on moisture management strategies and envelope assemblies to protect against condensation and potential for fungal growth in the building, and the importance of mechanical ventilation on Indoor Air Quality

3) Important key differences in the application of the 2020 VT CBES vs the 2015 version, focusing on specific assembly component considerations and options for the continuous insulation requirements of the code to mitigate condensation and mold risk. Will also mention anticipated changes with proposed 2023 CBES in rulemaking now.

4) Detail on material options, and proper installation requirements for balanced ventilation systems (importance of duct design) to achieve good indoor air quality.
