About this training…
Getting residential ventilation right is no longer optional — it’s essential for code compliance, indoor air quality, and durable high-performance homes. This practical, two-hour webinar breaks down how to correctly size and verify local and whole-dwelling ventilation systems using ASHRAE 62.2-2019, Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in Residential Buildings, which is adopted as code in the state of Maine.
Designed for professionals who need clear answers — not theory — this session walks through the real-world application of the standard for both single-family and multifamily construction. You’ll see step-by-step examples using the free Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL/RED) 62.2 calculation tool, helping you move from code language to confident implementation.
The session will also review ventilation equipment strategies, control options, and common compliance pitfalls — so you can avoid costly corrections and inspection delays.
Who should attend:
Code officials, designers, builders, HVAC contractors, energy raters, third-party verifiers, construction supervisors, and product suppliers who want to ensure systems are sized correctly and meet current code requirements.
After attending this training, you will be able to:
- Interpret and apply the key requirements of ASHRAE 62.2-2019
- Accurately size local exhaust and whole-dwelling mechanical ventilation
- Verify and document compliance for inspections and third-party review
- Confidently use the free PNNL/RED 62.2-2019 calculation tool
- Compare ventilation system types and control strategies for different project types
