This 60-minute webcast, sponsored by DOE, includes an overview of how COMcheck can be used to show compliance for alterations to commercial buildings and high-rise multifamily projects, and a live, 30-minute Q&A session followed the presentation.

Alteration projects involve changes to or replacement of: 1) existing building components that are part of the building envelope; 2) lighting, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, and water heating equipment; or 3) other equipment. Alterations also include converting an unconditioned or semi-heated space to a conditioned space. Additions (i.e., added square footage), even if in conjunction with existing building alterations or New Construction (i.e., new building), must be shown to comply in separate compliance runs. Software inputs for alterations include only those envelope components, lighting fixtures, or mechanical systems/equipment that will exist upon completion of the alteration project.

The Alterations compliance feature can be used in COMcheck when 90.1-1999, 90.1-2001, or 90.1-2004 is selected from the Code menu in the program. This feature is only included for these editions of the 90.1 Standard because these editions provide detailed requirements for alterations.

This training event information will be of most interest to those that have or will have projects that include alterations or renovations and are in locations that have adopted 90.1 or allow compliance using one of these editions of 90.1.
