“One of the best, most dynamic, and informed presentations of all my C.E. courses."

"For a subject that could be very dry, it was engaging, informative and effective."

There are two course modules—Commercial and Residential. By the end of each 8-hour class, participants will: 

• Understand the structure and rationale behind the energy code, and know how to navigate it;
• Be able to differentiate the various compliance pathways and understand the requirements for compliance;
• Understand the interdependence of the building envelope, mechanical and lighting systems and their impacts on energy consumption;
• Know what to expect at progress inspections;
• Sharpen communications and coordination with clients, the design team, code officials and the construction team to remove barriers to compliance.

Note: Any building four or more stories tall must comply with the commercial energy code.

**Conquering the Energy Code qualifies for 7 AIA Health, Safety and Welfare learning units (HSW/LUs), 7 Green Building Certification Institute credits (GBCI), 7 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) and 7 Code Enforcement Official credits (CEO). Please note, due to Dept. of State requirements, CEO credits must be requested at least 30-days prior to the course date. Email us for more information.

Each Conquering the Energy Code course is led by a certified instructor with more than five years of professional architecture or engineering experience, a passion for sustainability, and in-depth knowledge of high-performance building practices.
