Description: The International Code Council published the 2021 IECC in January of 2021 and numerous states are poised to adopt it. Attend this session to stay up to date on the latest residential provisions in this national model energy code. This session will provide an update on changes between the 2018 and 2021 IECC with a focus on items with the greatest impacts on Raters and other energy professionals, including changes to requirements for air sealing, infiltration testing, duct leakage testing, mechanical ventilation system testing, and energy modeling-based compliance approaches. The session will also cover a variety of items that must be met regardless of the chosen energy code compliance path (formerly known as “mandatory” provisions).
