The Energy Management Association is teaming up with Klein & Hoffman to host a free AIA-approved webinar. This session provides an overview of the major envelope design drivers within the 2024 IECC and ASHRAE 90.1-2022 energy codes and how they evolved from previous iterations. It will explore major code differences, with a focus on Illinois and Chicago-specific requirements, equipping designers with the knowledge to ensure compliance and optimize building performance.
Learning Objectives
1. Evaluate energy code compliance path options and the key factors influencing their selection.
2. Differentiate between 2024 IECC and ASHRAE 90.1-2022 requirements for building envelopes.
3. Analyze new and updated continuous air barrier requirements.
4. Understand the magnitude of the new envelope backstop requirement in ASHRAE 90.1-2022.
