SPEER Codes Webinar – Energy Code Horror Stories: The Scary Things Hiding Behind the Walls
Some of the scariest building performance problems are the ones you can’t see! Join SPEER for a special October webinar as we uncover real-world energy code violations, hidden construction defects, and installation mistakes that can haunt buildings long after construction is complete.
From missing insulation and poorly sealed building envelopes to leaky ductwork, improper HVAC installations, and ventilation nightmares, we’ll explore the common mistakes that compromise energy efficiency, occupant comfort, indoor air quality, and building durability. Through real-world examples, inspection photos, and references to the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), attendees will learn how to recognize these hidden problems, understand their consequences, and identify practical solutions.
Whether you’re a building official, inspector, builder, contractor, or energy professional, this interactive webinar will provide valuable insights into preventing costly mistakes and ensuring energy code compliance before these problems disappear behind the drywall. Don’t let energy code horror stories come back to haunt your buildings!
Lessons Learned:
- Identify Hidden Energy Code Violations – Recognize common insulation, air sealing, ductwork, and HVAC installation deficiencies that often go unnoticed during construction.
- Understand the Impact of Poor Installation Practices – Learn how seemingly minor construction mistakes can affect energy efficiency, occupant comfort, indoor air quality, and building durability.
- Prevent Problems Before They Become Costly – Discover practical inspection techniques, testing methods, and IECC requirements that help identify and correct deficiencies before they’re concealed behind walls and ceilings.
