This training provides an overview of the ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2022 Energy Cost Budget Method as adopted by the 2025 New York State Energy Conservation Construction Code. The course explains the proposed and budget modeling framework and focuses on the requirements most likely to affect compliance results, including building envelope, HVAC, lighting, service water heating, renewable energy, and other regulated loads.

Key topics include thermal block development, budget HVAC system selection and sizing, ventilation and fan power, equipment efficiency, economizers, thermal bridging, lighting controls, purchased heating and cooling, energy credits, and the envelope backstop. The training also addresses application of the ECB Method to core and shell projects, tenant fit-outs, additions, and alterations, including how permit scope affects what may participate in the energy trade-off.
