    Executive Summary

    This Energy Codes Training Assessment Report provides the Texas State Energy Conservation Office

    (SECO)with a current, short-term status of energy code training in Texas and a proposed, advanced- or

    long-term training strategy moving forward after the initial, introductory training is delivered by thisproject. This document identifies additional training needs and supplemental materials in addition to

    those materials delivered by Apple Energy Group and BCAP through this project. This Training

    Assessment Report has been completed specifically for the project SECO Building Energy Code Training

    and Outreach Services.

    The two principal goals of this report are to review Texas near term training efforts, in order to inform

    that training effort, as well as to develop recommendations for long term training strategies for the

    construction industry stakeholders in the state:

    Near term is defined as applicable to the training to be held through January 2012, and inresponse to the implementation of the 2010 Edition of the Building Energy Performance

    Standards (BEPS), which became mandatory on January 1, 2012

    Long term is defined as applying to recommendations for improved energy code compliancestatewide, for 2012 and beyond.

    This assessment provides:

    A review of the 2011 training efforts and recommendations for training to meet the 2010 BEPSand towards improving industry compliance with the code towards 90%.

    Feedback from stakeholders, many of whom were in attendance for at least one trainingsession, as well as a stakeholder meeting hosted by Apple Energy on the states current trainingefforts, and finally, in-depth interviews with over 20 other stakeholders representing all

    stakeholder groups across the state.

    Numerous recommendations including the top four that will provide the largest impact for theleast amount of funding.

    Current Status of Training Programs in Texas

    In June 2010, Texas updated its Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS) to reflect Chapter 11 of

    the 2009 IRC for residential requirements, and Chapter 5 of the 2009 IECC and ASHRAE Standard 90.1-

    2007 for commercial requirements. The 2010 BEPS, which as of January 1, 2012 became effective for all

    new private construction, advances the previous energy code by three cycles, and hence requires a

    training overhaul to get Texas construction community up to speed. Realizing this need, SECO

    contracted to Apple Energy Group to provide training, which began in August 2011, and will run through

    January 2012.

    Basic Training Sessions

    Apple Energy Group conducted half-day training sessions which cover the basic provisions of either the

    commercial provisions of the 2010 BEPS or the residential provisions. In total, Apple Energy Group

    hosted 100 trainings throughout 33 cities in Texas. The training was highly targeted at building code

    officials statewide; however, significant participation also came from building professionals. To ensure

    that participants would be motivated to take-away useful information from the training, a nominal

    $20 fee was charged per person, which helped defray SECOs cost. Added participant incentives

    included a 2009 IECC code book or 2009 IECC/ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007 combo book and relevant

    professional Continuing Education Units (CEUs).

    The content for these trainings was developed by the Building Codes Assistance Project and Apple

    Energy Group with consultation from Building Performance & Comfort, Inc., and Kent Browning, the

    principal trainers. It was decided, based on feedback from the initial stakeholders meeting and SECO,

    that the sessions would be three hours in length, each course providing an overview of the basic

    requirements of the commercial or residential sections of the 2010 BEPS. In addition, an advocacy

    component was included to ensure each attendee understood the importance of the code and

    compliance with it.

    As one measure of the success of the training, course evaluation feedback from the attendees was

    extremely high, especially considering that course attendance was not free. As figure A indicates, 97%

    of the total attendees were satisfied (scored a 4 or 5 out of 5) with the knowledge and effectiveness of

    the presenter, and over 91% satisfied with the value of the course content.

    As of December 2011, roughly 57 percent of the Building Officials Association of Texas (BOAT) members

    had attended at least one of these training sessions, an incredible feat. Participation has also been high

    among construction professionals, including architects, engineers, builders, and trade contractors. The

    state will continue to offer training and CEUs as updates to the BEPS occur.

    Figure A: Training evaluation feedback through December 2011

    Texas Energy Code Training Center

    As part of the deployment of training throughout the state of Texas, Apple Energy Group created an

    online portal to provide registration for training, online training for those who were unavailable to

    attend classroom sessions, and additional resources. This site is an excellent start to making sure that

    anyone can receive training, anywhere, any time. Currently the site hosts three residential training

    videos, three commercial training videos, and access to compliance checklists, software, and assistance

    documents. By the end of January 2012, Apple Energy Group will add new online courses in English and

    Spanish to the website.

    Although the site is still in the soft launch phase and has not been widely promoted statewide, early

    signs of site activity are promising. Since the creation of the Texas Energy Code Training Center in

    September 2011 through December, the site had received 1,418 hits from 987 (70%) unique visitors.

    Site visitors viewed an average of 3.81 pages per visit with a bounce rate 1

    1

    Bounce rate is a metric that refers to the percentage of visitors that leave the site without viewing any other

    pages. For many websites, the benchmark bounce rate is 50%.

    of only 36%, both excellent

    results for site activity.

    Stakeholder Feedback

    Stakeholder Survey

    At the end of each training session offered by Apple Energy, attendees were asked to select from a list of

    additional training types they would like extra sessions on, if any. Figure B denotes the results of the

    survey, through December 2011:

    Figure B: Training evaluation feedback through December 2011

    There is certainly a desire by the attendees of the basic 2010 BEPS trainings to obtain even more

    knowledge on the energy code. The most significant topics are those which would go into more detail in

    basic residential energy code compliance: plan review, site inspection, use of performance based tools

    like blower doors and duct blasters, and compliance software. It should be noted that SECO has

    previously invested in Blower Doors and Duct Blasters, in order to help seed the state-based

    infrastructure for conducting these tests; perhaps it may be possible to coordinate this timely

    infrastructure building with training for that testing.

    Stakeholder Interviews

    The BCAP project team worked with the Apple Energy Group project team and numerous stakeholders

    statewide, who had attended at least one of the initial trainings offered by the project to solicit input.

    To that end, marketing efforts were concentrated on builders and their organizations, code officials and

    their organizations, design professionals (architects and engineers), HVAC, lighting and building

    contractors, and municipal officials. In order to gather specific training needs from across the state, and

    to optimize the project budget, BCAP staff held stakeholder conference calls as part of the development

    process for the study. These meetings were held by phone from

    December 5, 2011, through January 4, 2012. During these

    stakeholder calls, BCAP staff first posed hypothetical training

    enhancements and variations, based on feedback both from the

    paper survey and previous stakeholder sector participants. A

    total of 21 stakeholders were interviewed at length, representing

    code officials, designers, builders, and municipal officials. After

    allowing time for participants to digest those ideas and combine

    them or improve them with their own, BCAP solicited feedback

    and learned several key concerns that could help shape the plans

    for a training assessment, as well as for future training, including:

  • 8/2/2019 Texas Training Assessment

    Training Format. In addition to traditional classroom learning, most stakeholders indicated thatin-the-field training is also extremely helpful. Design professionals in particular indicated that

    their constituency was particularly inclined towards adding hands-on, in the field training.

    Addition of Advocacy Elements. Because Texas energy code is very new, and just coming onthe radar screens of many Texas code officials and other construction professionals, training is

    another opportunity to support the reasons why adopting an up-to-date energy code is good for

    the state. BCAP and Apple Energy worked together to incorporate advocacy messages into

    the training presentations to take advantage of this opportunity, however many trainees felt

    that this message could be more rigorously included. It may be possible for SECO to leverage

    the BCAP/Consumers Union outreach materials in Texas.

    Rural Outreach. Informing stakeholders in Texas rural counties of training as well as makingthe training accessible will require significantly more effort than in other areas. It was expressed

    that if any of these rural jurisdictions had a building department to begin with, these

    departments were often understaffed and unable to take the time to travel and attend training.

    Some stakeholders suggested video streaming training and outreach, and they were informed

    about the ongoing development of that capacity for Texas under this project. Attendees then

    suggested a broad advertising campaign be undertaken to make sure that the building industry

    in Texas know of that capacity, and that it be updated with any subsequent training as it became

    available.

    Compliance Software. Some stakeholders expressed concerns over the development ofcompliance software, and what seem to be competing software products, in this case IC3 and

    REScheck/COMcheck. All seemed interested in getting more detailed training in both, as well as

    a bit more depth in how performance software and approaches might work for them.

    Plan Review and Site inspection. Code Officials suggested that training on plan review and siteinspection was needed, in order to help them standardize and streamline those processes and

    improve energy code compliance.

    Advanced Building Performance Testing. Stakeholders, particularly builders, were interested inand expressed concern about who will provide whole house and duct leakage testing across the

    state. Builders were interested in learning how to do their own testing, which some states have

    allowed, hoping that it would add a way for them to improve construction. Regardless the

    approach used, it seems that there is concern that the existing Rater and Building Performance

    infrastructure can fill this need, and that attention should be paid to training or building up that

    infrastructure.

    Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Many stakeholders expressed that the ability to earn CEUsby attending training courses is a good motivator, and appreciated the CEUs offered by theproject team. There is high interest that CEUs continue to be offered at trainings, especially

    among design professionals.

    Code Official Time. Many code officials are interested in receiving training, but buildingdepartments throughout the state are short staffed and need their staffs boots on the

    ground. In many cases, there simply is no time for training. This might be satisfied by

    providing circuit rider type training and support to the code officials, whereby code specialists

  • 8/2/2019 Texas Training Assessment

    7/11

    Energy Code Training Assessment, Texas 7

    work through the various BOAT chapters to arrange local hands-on training days, or classroom

    training where a problem area or special topic is discussed. When the BCAP Ambassador or

    Community Energy Code Advisor program was described to them, interviewees liked both ideas

    as potential ways to approach this need. Descriptions of both of those programs are attached.

    Future Funding. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding has provided aplethora of initial resources to be used for energy code training and education, but those

    monies must be spent by April 2012. There was much concern expressed that training will

    simply disappear after the ARRA money is gone. Interviewees were again introduced to the

    online training that SECO is supplying via this project. Keeping that online training current, and

    adding to it, seems like a good opportunity to continue training at a reasonable cost.

    Builder and Consumer Support. Especially in rural jurisdictions, many stakeholders expectbuilder pushback to the codes, claiming that they will make homes too expensive. Stakeholders

    in these areas must be equipped with the tools and resources to sell the code to stakeholders

    in their communities. BCAP of course offers our Texas related support materials found on the

    Texas page on OCEAN.2

    Lack of Industry Participation in Training. Several interviewees indicated that while codeofficial participation in trainings high, there seemed to be very few industry professionals in

    attendance throughout the Fall 2011 trainings. Involvement of the manufacturers and

    distributors of energy-efficiency materials like insulation, windows and doors, and HVAC did not

    seem to be as present at the trainings as end users such as builders and code officials. This

    poses perhaps the biggest long-term concern for implementation of the new code, as these

    industry professionals must have a basic knowledge of the 2010 BEPS in order to successfully

    comply with the code. Apple Energy Group has noted that a number of manufacturers and

    suppliers who were originally interested in participating in the training became less interested

    Further, BCAP would be pleased to partner further with SECO and

    Apple Energy Group to provide additional services beyond this contract.

    once it was determined that their company could not

    serve as a facility host or sponsor of any kind.

    However, BCAP believes that industry will begin

    actively seeking training after formal implementation

    and enforcement begins statewide. In addition, they

    will likely continue to be interested in providing

    sponsorships for additional and advanced training.

    Existing Building Implications. Virtually all thestakeholders interviewed indicated they felt confusion

    over how the new code impacts existing buildings.This is shared by constituents nationwide, as BCAP has

    observed in many states. Suggestions included

    training sessions based on the development of a state-

    specific list of typical renovation work that should

    comply with the energy code, both Residential and

    Commercial. For example, there is huge benefit in making sure that when commercial flat roofs

    are replaced and insulation is exposed or removed, the insulation needs to be brought up to

    code. This is a terrific opportunity to save building owners money as well as to save energy.

    On-site, Existing Building Training. In keeping with the last recommendation, designprofessionals were particularly interested in receiving on-site training on energy code

    applications to existing buildings, perhaps in conjunction with AIA, PE, Green Building or

    jurisdictional conferences or events, optimizing the numbers of stakeholders that might take

    advantage of this timely training.

    Recommendations

    BCAP offers the following recommendations for providing ongoing training and support to meet the

    long-term needs of the energy code stakeholder groups we were pleased to work with in Texas. BCAP

    considers the first four recommendations listed (denoted with a ) to be most critical, either because

    they require a small amount of resources to complete and/or will make the largest impact in the state.

    Resources on the Web

    SECO should build on the success of the Texas Energy Code Training Center to provide FAQs,

    additional support resources, outreach materials as they are generated, and relevant contact

    information. The site should also provide additional training videos as they become available, any

    handouts from current and future classroom training sessions, and links to online resources made

    available by the U.S. Department of Energy, such as Building Energy Codes University. 3 In addition,

    BCAP can further develop the Texas-specific page on its OCEAN website4

    and work with SECO to

    highlight the link to the site.

    Energy Code Ambassadors

    SECO could launch an Energy Codes Ambassadors Program (ECAP) that identifies 10-20 exemplarycode officials throughout the state to serve as a knowledgeable resource to their region. These

    ambassadors would receive free training and materials, particularly on advanced segments of the

    code, and a travel budget to assist nearby code departments. Additional small steps to support

    these ambassadors can play key roles, including:

    Making the contact information for all of the code officials readily available on the SECO orTexas Energy Code Training Center site, and encouraging code officials throughout the state

    to contact them,

    Creating and facilitating a discussion board and/or support group on the Texas Energy CodeTraining Center site,

    Holding training sessions on one or more advanced segments of the IECC, to be delivered bythe code ambassadors themselves, highlighting their expertise and providing neededinformation/training,

    Supporting the ambassadors so that they can serve as a circuit riders and travel todifferent parts of the state to assist with plan reviews,

    Provide opportunities for the ambassadors to serve as part of an advisory coalition to SECOon the energy code,

    Support on-going collaboration between the ambassadors by facilitating regular meetings orconference calls where they can share information, discuss problems and solutions, and

    support one anothers efforts.

    Advanced Training Segments

    In order to ensure that the more complex parts of the energy code are covered, SECO should offertraining on advanced segments of the code and charge a higher enrollment fee as necessary. Some

    of these segments include:

    Existing Infrastructure at the University Level

    In order to keep design and construction professionals up-to-date on the energy code, SECO should

    explore leveraging the existing educational infrastructure at community colleges and/or extendededucation programs at the University of Texas System. This can be a great way to cover the

    challenge that Texas large geographic range presents, and could make course logistics and

    certification acquisition easier. The AIA community in particular is always looking for ways to earn

    CEUs and this could provide them with that opportunity. Additionally, the state might investigate

    creating a curriculum for students in the above educational programs interested in becoming code

    officials or trade professionals in the construction industry. Tuition assistance could be offered to

    help cover some of the costs for the students.

    In-Field Training

    SECO should also offer on-site training to augment classroom

    education. This will allow for real-world examples of code explanations

    and site inspection training, and offers the opportunity for training on

    the proper use of a blower door and a duct blaster. In states

    throughout the U.S., on-site training is widely regarded as one of the

    most effective options. SECO is already in possession of ten blower

    doors and ten duct blasters; should SECO acquire a certified

    professional to provide in-field trainings, he/she could use these blower

    doors and duct blasters instead of having to buy new equipment. Such

    training could be combined with Code Ambassador training, enabling

    the ambassadors to take their gained knowledge to their peers.

    Energy Code Brochure/Outreach

    Develop a one page flyer (electronic, hard-copy or both) based on the BCAP Texas Fact Sheet andvarious other cost-benefit analyses for distribution to all stakeholders in support of the new energy

    code. A brochure or related materials could be made to help introduce energy codes to non-

    technical audiences such as consumers and local government officials to help expand support for

    code adoption and compliance.

    More Detailed TrainingMany stakeholders indicated that introductory training was a good start, but that much more

    training needed to be done. Interest in more detailed training on residential building science was

    cited; perhaps energy code could be incorporated into training that is done to support Home

    Performance with Energy Star or other green building programs. Also, there was a need expressed

    for more extensive commercial envelope, HVAC, and lighting programs for interested stakeholders.

    Finally, training onsite inspections and plan reviews, both residential and commercial, was

    requested.

    HERS-AS-Code PilotOne compliance mechanism that is utilized in other states and jurisdictions is that of allowing Home

    Energy Ratings (HERS Ratings) to be utilized as a compliance methodology. Builders are already

    asking about the use of a HERS Rating as a compliance mechanism. Advanced code adoption in

    Austin, San Antonio and Houston, where the use of Raters was promoted, might be more thoroughly

    researched, and guidance developed from it for use in other jurisdictions, or as an option statewide.

    TX currently allows the use of ratings and involvement in HERS programs for code compliance;

    future outreach on this option might be leveraged.

    Building America Course

    SECO could host Building America courses locally. This one-day course includes marketing to

    builders in the state as well as CEUs. There are two options available: Houses that Work for new

    homes and Remodeling for Energy Efficiency for existing homes.

    Future FundingSECO has not identified future training plans or funding for such training; guidance will be offered by

    SECO at a future date.

    Clearly, there will be a greater need for training and technical support in order to reach 90% compliance

    levels in Texas, and for the state to take full advantage of the energy savings potential of its new energy

    codes. Apple Energy and BCAP stand ready to assist with support for any activities SECO should want

    assistance with. By taking advantage of the many opportunities available to engage the building

    community in energy code training, Texas can increase the effectiveness of the new codes

    implementation.
