    -------------------------------------------

    Please join us for a great webinar on commercial energy code design from our friends at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) on Wednesday, August 12, 2015, from 2:00 - 4:00 PM ET.

    Earn 1.5 AIA LUs with this intermediate-level overview of the building thermal envelope provisions of the latest national voluntary consensus standard model energy codes for cost savings, reduced energy consumption, and the conservation of natural resources.

    Changes to ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2013 & the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) commercial provisions impact the design of commercial and high-rise residential buildings - including windows, doors and skylights, thermal envelope materials and technologies, and HVAC equipment.

    Learning Objectives


    1. Understand the different compliance paths & methods applied to the building's thermal envelope. 
    2. Learn the differences between new construction, additions, alterations, and repairs. 
    3. Become familiar with the mandatory requirements for the building thermal envelope. 
    4. Learn the differences between ANSI/ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2013 and the 2015 IECC commercial building thermal envelope provisions.
