Overview of the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)
2025-06-18 13:00 - 14:00 | IA
The International Code Council published the latest national model energy code – the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) – in August 2024. As states and local jurisdictions consider updates to their energy codes in the coming years, the 2024 IECC will be one of several options available. It is crucial for builders to understand the major differences in the requirements and format of the 2024 IECC compared to its previous editions (the 2021 IECC and 2018 IECC). This session will highlight the code usability improvements of the 2024 IECC and their cost implications for residential construction, empowering builders to assist their state and/or local HBA to frame the discussion on energy code adoption in their jurisdiction.
