Residential Energy Code Standards and Trends
February 26 @ 12:00 pm – February 27 @ 5:00 pm CST

Join MEC for a free, (2) half-day training to prepare for the new requirements of the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).
This course will provide an overview of the history of the IECC in the International Residential Code (IRC) and its multiple compliance paths – including the role of a HERS® Rater.
Using 2024 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.
