This presentation will outline how these updates affect current buildings and planned projects. Attendees will gain insight into the latest requirements for enclosure design, construction, and performance; energy efficiency; and system commissioning.The speaker will offer compliance options and practical strategies for aligning projects in early design, construction, or planning phases to meet the new energy code requirements.
