Multifamily Tricks of the Trade
 Documenting and Modeling Ventilation Systems in Multifamily Buildings following the ENERGY STAR MFNC Program Guidelines Part 1

This course is designed to provide learners with the knowledge to determine minimum ventilation requirements and document ventilation systems in multifamily buildings for the ENERGY STAR Multifamily New Construction (MFNC) program. Throughout the program, participants will develop proficiency in determining the minimum 62.2 requirements required by the ENERGY STAR MFNC program and gain insights into how these requirements can relate to local code requirements. By delving into practical examples such as exhaust-only systems and central Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS) with energy recovery, participants will see how system specifications for common ventilation strategies translate into inputs for energy modeling using the DOE/PNNL Compliance Form. Through this course, participants will emerge equipped with the knowledge and skills essential for proficiently determining ventilation requirements and documenting ventilation systems in multifamily buildings, in alignment with the ENERGY STAR MFNC program.

Recommended Experience: Two years of experience in commercial building design, operation, maintenance, or related fields, or equivalent education. Knowledge of ASHRAE Standard 90.1 and a basic understanding of energy modeling concepts and familiarity with the eQuest software are strongly suggested. The target audience for this course is energy modelers and other design team members involved with ENERGY STAR Multifamily New Construction certification.
