SUMMARY:Webinar: 2024 IECC Commercial: What to Enforce – Part 2 (Without Mechanical)
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 IECC introduces major updates affecting how commercial buildings are reviewed and inspected for energy code compliance. In this follow-up session\, we will continue breaking down the provisions most likely to affect plan review and field enforcement across Texas. \nPart 2 will focus on practical enforcement strategies related to lighting controls\, electrical provisions\, commissioning requirements\, and documentation verification. The session will highlight common compliance mistakes\, field inspection challenges\, and strategies code officials can use to identify issues earlier in the permitting process. \nThis webinar is designed for building officials\, inspectors\, plan reviewers\, energy raters\, and design professionals who want to better understand how the 2024 IECC is applied in real-world projects. \nTopics Discussed: \n\nDemand Responsive Lighting Controls Function\nEnergy Monitoring\nRenewable Energy Systems\nCompliance\nAdditional Energy Efficiency Credit Requirements\nFunctional Testing\nHVAC TSPR Compliance\n\n\nTweet

SUMMARY:Webinar: 2024 IECC Commercial - What to Enforce (Without Mechanical)
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 IECC brings meaningful changes to commercial energy code enforcement—especially for building envelope\, lighting\, electrical systems\, and commissioning. This session cuts through the noise and focuses on what plan reviewers and inspectors in Texas are most often asked to verify in the field and at the counter. By intentionally excluding Section C403 (Mechanical)\, this training zeroes in on the areas that most commonly delay approvals\, trigger corrections\, or result in late-stage compliance disputes. Attendees will walk away with practical enforcement guidance and clear expectations aligned with how commercial projects are actually reviewed and inspected across Texas. \nLessons Learned: \n\nEnvelope mistakes are still the most expensive to fix: Continuous insulation\, air barrier continuity\, and assembly assumptions remain the top sources of late corrections and project delays.\nLighting compliance now lives and dies by controls\, not fixtures: Projects may meet lighting power limits on paper but still fail inspections due to missing or nonfunctional controls and daylighting requirements.\nDocumentation is no longer optional: Commissioning reports\, updated COMcheck files\, and clear submittals are now central to compliance—if it’s not documented\, it didn’t happen.\n\n\nTweet

SUMMARY:Webinar: Data Center Growth and Energy Efficiency - Meeting the Needs of Texas and Oklahoma
DESCRIPTION:As data center growth continues across our region\, policymakers\, utilities\, and local communities must seek solutions to curb exponential energy consumption. Targeted energy efficiency deployed near data centers can deliver measurable peak load relief\, economic benefits\, and reduce community concerns\, making the rapid growth of data centers more palatable. \nThe AnnDyl Policy Group published its report “Measurable Energy Efficiency to Meet Data Center Growth: How Home Energy Efficiency Upgrades Will Make Data Centers and AI Welcome” in late 2025. Today\, our presenter will provide an overview of the report\, discuss Texas and Oklahoma specific results\, and review how forward-looking energy efficiency policy could benefit the region. \nPresenter: Doug Presley\, Director\, Government and Regulatory Affairs\, AnnDyl Policy Group \nRegister here. \n\nTweet

SUMMARY:Webinar: Understanding the 2024 IECC Energy Rating Index – Section R406
DESCRIPTION:The Energy Rating Index (ERI) in the 2024 IECC is often misunderstood\, inconsistently enforced\, or incorrectly treated as a program rather than a code compliance path. This one-hour technical webinar provides a clear\, code-only breakdown of Section R406\, with a focus on how building officials\, plan reviewers\, and inspectors should review\, approve\, and verify ERI compliance in the field. \nParticipants will walk through how R406 fits within the IECC compliance framework\, what mandatory provisions still apply\, how ERI backstops limit trade-offs\, and what documentation is required for approval. The session emphasizes what the code actually says\, common enforcement failures\, and practical review and inspection checklists grounded entirely in the 2024 IECC. \nRegister here. \n\nTweet

SUMMARY:Webinar: 2024 IECC R405 Performance Path – What’s New\, What’s Required\, and How to Enforce It
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a focused training on the Simulated Building Performance Path found in Section R405 of the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code. This session explains how proposed home designs are modeled and compared to the Standard Reference Design\, highlights major changes from previous code editions\, and clarifies which building features can—and cannot—be traded off through performance modeling. We will cover updated HVAC and ventilation requirements\, infiltration limits\, renewable energy constraints\, and documentation expectations for plan reviewers and inspectors. Texas-specific adoption considerations will also be discussed to help ensure consistent and effective enforcement. \nTopics of Discussion: \n\n The 2024 IECC significantly tightens the performance path. The Standard Reference Design (SRD) baseline now reflects higher envelope values\, higher HVAC efficiency\, and updated hot water and lighting assumptions—greatly reducing the flexibility available in earlier IECC editions.\n\n\n Mandatory provisions cannot be modeled away. Blower door limits\, duct leakage thresholds\, ventilation requirements\, and mechanical control provisions must be met regardless of performance modeling results.\n\n\n R405 is not interchangeable with the ERI path. R405 remains cost-based and depends heavily on modeling accuracy\, while the ERI Path uses a scoring system. Understanding the differences is critical for both AHJs and modelers.\n\n\n Enforcement quality depends on documentation. R405 compliance reports\, SRD comparison tables\, mechanical schedules\, and testing verification must be consistent with both the plans and field installation. Texas jurisdictions should standardize submittal requirements to ensure reliability.\n\n\n Trade-offs are more limited in 2024—especially in Texas climates. High SHGC windows\, ducts in unconditioned spaces\, and weak insulation levels cannot be offset solely through mechanical upgrades or PV systems under the 2024 rules.\n\n\nTweet

SUMMARY:Webinar: 2024 IECC Residential: Duct Systems & Duct Testing—What Changed and How to Comply
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in-depth look at the 2024 IECC residential duct system requirements. This session breaks down the latest code changes—covering duct location\, insulation\, leakage testing thresholds\, and new documentation standards. We’ll walk through Section R403.3 step by step\, highlighting the most significant updates\, exceptions\, and testing protocols. \nA major addition in 2024 is a new performance-based table for total duct system leakage\, replacing the old one-size-fits-all limit. The allowable leakage rate now varies by conditioned floor area served and the number of ducted returns—a fundamental shift that rewards tighter\, more efficient duct design and installation. \nTopics of Discussion: \n\nTesting Clarity Matters:\nThe 2024 IECC clarifies that Total Duct Leakage (TDL)\, not leakage to outside\, is the prescriptive compliance metric—ending years of confusion between testing types and helping ensure consistent enforcement across jurisdictions.\nNew Testing Allowances:\nThe new R403.3.8 table rewards well-designed\, compact duct layout and penalizes oversized\, leaky systems. Accuracy in test setup and documentation now matters more than ever.\n“Inside Conditioned Space” Isn’t Always What It Seems:\nMany systems labeled “inside” still fail compliance because of unsealed chases or ducts crossing unconditioned zones. The new ≤10-foot exception limit forces design and inspection teams to verify true envelope continuity.\n\n\nTweet
