MEC is partnering with Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (MEEA) to bring a FREE training course for regional contractors and building industry experts!
Using the latest energy code (2021 International Energy Conservation Code) as guidance along with the principles of building science, this training will focus on code compliance as well as appropriate opportunities to exceed energy code requirements. Beginning with a Top Ten List of design guidelines to a quick building science review, this session explains the 2021 IECC code requirements for envelopes along with a mechanical section that puts an emphasis on proper ductwork. Finally, the training will review the code via the concept of a one-page checklist to help ensure proper compliance with its requirements.
