High Performance Mechanicals:
The LEEP Technology Forum is a big tent event, where participants find out how experts and manufacturers respond to challenges set for them by the regional builders as they reach towards Tier 3, 4, and 5 of the National Building Code for housing. Events are focused on a singular case study so that participants can evaluate technologies against each other and determine what is the best fit for their regional needs.
Description:
LEEP Forums typically include optimization and up-front building science and best practice information to set the technical context on the performance requirements to achieve these levels of code. For mechanicals forums, LEEP tools and best practice guidelines are used to support informed decision making on mechanical systems, including the Heat Pump Sizing and Selection App, duct flow testing and CSA F280-12 in retrofits. This is followed by manufacturer presentations that provide fully costed HVAC system solutions that meet the needs of the local industry.
These forums include:
- a local industry panel reviewing the most common mechanical challenges in new builds, and the mechanical implications of the different tiers of the code,
- the use of new apps to support builders in working with designers and trades to size and select equipment,
- a presentation on controls for heat pumps and hybrid systems, and
- presentations from invited manufacturers that respond to the builder set challenges for a specific case study home.
