American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) Regional Director of Codes and Standards Jonathan Humble, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP – BD+C will conduct a session on “Energy Code Options for Steel Construction” at the Connecticut Architecture Conference + Expo on October 26, 2023 from 10:15 to 11:15 a.m. ET at the Mystic Marriott Hotel in Groton, Connecticut. The conference is the premier continuing education and networking event for the AEC industry in the state of Connecticut. Information is available at the AIA Connecticut Conference website. 

Buildings designed with steel offer many energy solutions to ensure compliance with the provisions of Connecticut’s Building Energy Codes Program. Humble’s session will walk participants through the current and future (beyond the 2022 adopted CT code) energy code requirements for the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and ASHRAE 90.1, Energy Standard for Sites and Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings. It will focus on how the provisions for both national model energy codes apply to various steel products. 

Humble’s responsibilities at AISI include research and development of new technologies for the Institute’s standards and design guides, participation in national model codes and standards development, and educational services to steel industry members, design professionals, code officials, general contractors and building owners. He is an American Institute of Architects (AIA) Fellow and has over 35 years of experience in the development of national model codes and standards at both the national and local levels.
