The Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance will host a webinar entitled “BC Building and Energy Codes | What to Expect” on Wed., March 15 at 9:30 a.m. Pacific.
Right now, the International Code Council and code experts are in the thick of developing the 2024 national model energy code—the code that informs how new buildings are constructed.
On March 15, the President signed into law the Fiscal Year 2022 Consolidated Appropriations Act, bipartisan legislation to fund the U.S. federal government through September 30, 2022.
The envelope backstop was introduced by policymakers to limit how far building enclosure thermal performance can stray from the envelope prescriptive requirements.
The campaign encourages implementation of the most up-to-date energy codes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase energy efficiency, and enhance resiliency and safety.
The requirements in green standards alone, such as LEED, Green Globes and IgCC may lack comprehensive measures to address resiliency related to the long-term performance of the building enclosure
When it comes to operational energy efficiency, the building design and construction industry continuously raises the ceiling through myriad collective avenues including the increased stringency of volunteer rating systems, monitoring-based commissioning, verified zero energy buildings, and much more
