Look for “Residential Provisions of the 2009 IECC.” Attendees will receive six CEU’s, all code books, workbooks, instructional materials, continental breakfast and lunch.
The course will provide an overview of the core concepts of the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) as they apply to residential buildings. Participants will learn how key provisions of the code should be applied during building design, construction, and renovation. Participants will also learn how to evaluate code compliance during plan review and inspection. Key building science concepts will be presented to explain how code requirements relate to energy use. Typical code compliance failures will be highlighted with strategies for enforcing provisions that yield the greatest energy savings.
A similar course discussing the Commercial Provisions of the 2009 IECC is planned for Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2011. For additional questions, contact Jim Magliano at (410) 514-7216.
