Content webinars available through our partnership with SPEER:
Webinar 1
Topic: There is no Such Thing as 'Like for Like' Replacement
Description: How replacing a working 3 ton system with a new 3 ton system can cause comfort problems. We will examine a simple home and see under what conditions it required a 3 ton unit. We will then look at how updating a handful of settings (to late 1990s / early 2000s standards) can bring that home’s needs down to 2-2 ½ ton.
We will see how a new 3 ton system will fail where an old one did not.
We will then see a demonstration of the solution: do a Manual J Load!

Webinar 2
Topic: There is no Such Thing as a Ton: The Importance of Manual S
Description: This presentation covers a series of topics related to the myth of a ton and the value of Manual S including:
• why AHRI data should NEVER be used to determine equipment size and why that is
• what a ton really is
• what the Manual S procedure is and why it's important
• exceptions to the standard Manual S rules.
In short, we'll learn that there really is no such thing as a ton.

Webinar 3
Topic: What’s the Difference Between the HERS Index & Energy Rating Index (and why it matters)
Description: With energy code evolution, another compliance path has emerged for builders to choose: the Energy Rating Index performance path found in IECC R406. This path emerged in the 2015 IECC and has further developed in the later codes.
The Energy Rating Index (ERI) was based on the proprietary HERS Index(TM) owned and developed by RESNET. RESNET also developed ANSI/RESNET/ICC Standards 301 and 380 which are referenced in the 2018 and later energy codes.
However, during the code development cycle there were additional requirements for the ERI that are not found in the ANSI standard and those requirements change the Index numbers dramatically. Those changes are not reflected in the HERS Index(TM), which can cause tons of confusion between code officials, raters, and builders as they work through ensuring homes comply with the current building codes.

Webinar 4
Topic: Stucco Installation Requirements (and the damage that can occur when improperly installed)
Description: From the IRC: "R703.7 Exterior plaster. Installation of these materials shall be in compliance with ASTM C 926, ASTM C 1063 and the provisions of this code."
So... who has a copy of those standards? We will discuss what is in them and what people regularly get wrong. Lath, plaster, weep screeds, fasteners, curing, support and the crucial proper application of the weather resistive barrier. All of this and more comes together for a successful stucco installation. Less than a proper installation is one of the leading causes of builder litigation.
Presenter: Jeff Adams, Adams Home Inspection
