Energy Code Overview and Plan Review Basics for Energy Code

Presented by Hope Medina of Shums Coda

A building doesn’t just appear. It starts with the design of the building and ends with it being inspected. What provisions are found in the IECC that should be provided on the plans and what should we be looking for when reviewing a project to get the desired results in the field for energy compliance? We will provide an overview of what is in the energy code, and provide guidance for what needs to be provided for a review to be performed. We are going to review plans with examples of these provision, both good and maybe not so good. Let’s talk about the process that is needed to get a project compliant with the energy code.
