In this webinar, experts from the nation’s regional energy efficiency organizations will share the building projects that have been the most effective at improving resilience in their areas. When finished, you will better understand codes for efficient, EV-ready, and solar-ready buildings. The webinar will also include a sneak peek at provisions in the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), and much more. You will leave with strategies that you can implement in your jurisdiction to ensure a resilient and sustainable community.
