GEO
Sponsored IECC 2003 and 2006 Energy Code Training
(Register below)
In partnership with
local building departments, the Governor’s Energy Office (GEO) has
announced plans to deliver statewide residential and commercial energy
code training workshops across Colorado. Workshops are offered in 28
locations around the state between April 21 and June 20, 2008.
The energy code
workshops provide full day training on both commercial and residential
energy codes, specifically the 2003 or 2006 versions of the
International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).
Training will be delivered by a nationally recognized code training
organization, International Code Council (ICC), and be offered at no
cost to Colorado code officials, homebuilders, developers, architects,
engineers and other building industry professionals. Additionally, all
attendees will receive an official code book, workbook resources and
continuing technical assistance from ICC.
During the 2007
legislative session, House Bill 1146 (HB 1146)
in an effort to improve the energy efficiency of Colorado’s new
buildings as part of the New Energy Economy. HB 1146 calls for all
jurisdictions that have a building code to adopt a minimum energy code
standard by July 1, 2008.
E-Star Colorado, a
non-profit that provides resources to Colorado code officials on energy
issues, is working with GEO to manage the registration process. For
information on GEO’s energy code support program, visit
www.colorado.gov/energy.

Seating is limited to 50 per class, and will be on a first-register,
first-serve basis, with priority spaces awarded to local code officials
and building industry professionals.

The energy
code workshops will provide technical
overview of the critical concepts contained in the 2006 IECC or
2003 IECC. Teaching emphasis will be placed on learning the
correct application of the code for the design, plan review,
inspection and analysis of residential and commercial
buildings.
The workshop
will present attendees with a clear understanding of all code
provisions, tables and categorizations. Information on how code
users may apply the code in clear-cut situations will be
discussed, as well as information related to developing a
thorough understanding of the intent of the code in regards to
determining compliance.
Upon
completion of the energy code workshop, participants will be
able to:
-
Locate
general topics within the 2006 IECC or 2003 IECC,
-
Locate
applicable tables within the 2006 IECC or 2003 IECC for
specific situations,
-
Apply
2006 IECC or 2003 IECC requirements to real world
situations,
-
Explain
the intent behind a given code requirement,
-
Use
judgment to identify borderline scenarios as compliant or
noncompliant, and
-
Identify
essential code components for designing energy-efficient
building thermal envelopes; energy-efficient mechanical
design principles; and electrical power and lighting systems
