This course will provide an overview of the history of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) in the International Residential Code (IRC) and its multiple compliance paths – including the role of a HERS® Rater.

Using 2021 IECC curriculum, the instructor will provide a common understanding of the thermal envelope (including the impact of windows, doors, and skylights), what is included in insulation installation grading, and advanced framing techniques. The instructor will also cover heating, cooling, and mechanical ventilation systems along with a discussion of the importance of duct tightness. Lighting, appliances, and clean energy contributions will also be discussed.

Incentives available through the Inflation Reduction Act will also be highlighted.

The July 25 and 26 sessions will take place in room 1L at Plexpod Westport.
