About this event
This course will cover the requirements for designing and constructing the 2024 IECC and the consensus process. New construction codes and policies, when aligned with climate goals, are some of the most cost-effective ways for jurisdictions to cut carbon emissions, save energy, improve comfort and health, and increase housing affordability. NBI helped ensure several groundbreaking proposals were included in both the Commercial and Residential 2024 IECC including electric ready, solar ready and EV charging ready provisions. This code will build on the energy efficiency advancements made in the 2021 code cycle that currently being adopted in jurisdictions around the country. We will also discuss how to engage your local and state governments to leverage inflation reduction act funds to help you and your state adopt the new code and build, BETTER.
