1 AIA LU|HSW
AIA Oregon’s Small Firms Exchange presents a Continuing Education opportunity and Happy Hour focused on 2024 Oregon code changes surrounding building envelope thermal performance and how to meet new thermal bridging and air tightness code requirements in commercial and residential design.
Pushing the Envelope – 2024 OEESC Thermal Bridging
As building energy codes continue to evolve at a more rapid pace, design professionals are finding themselves constantly trying to keep up with the changes. The 2024 Oregon Energy Efficiency Code (OEESC) adopts the linear and point thermal bridging requirements of ASHRAE 90.1-2022. This is a paradigm shift in how building enclosure performance will have to be demonstrated both prescriptively and in whole building energy modeling. This presentation will focus on the key changes relating to the new building enclosure provisions in 2024 OEESC with particular focus on thermal bridging with an update on airtightness.
If you can’t make it to the in-person event, the program portion of the evening (5-6pm) will also be presented virtually.
4:30 - 5:00pm ~ Attendee arrival & appetizer/beverages
5:00 - 6:00pm ~ RDH Presentation (powerpoint)
6:00 - 6:30pm ~ Networking & happy hour
If you cannot attend this event in-person, the presentation portion will also be available virtually.
Learning Objectives:
Learn about heat flow mechanisms through building enclosures.
Understand the latest building envelope changes in the 2024 Oregon Energy Efficiency Specialty Code.
Learn to quantify linear and point thermal bridges and include them in overall U-Value calculations.
Learn about new whole building air leakage testing requirements.
