SUMMARY:Webinar - From the Field: Real-World Compliance and Enforcement Trends in the New IECC
DESCRIPTION:This session delivers a boots-on-the-ground perspective of how the 2021 and 2024 IECC are playing out in the field. We’ll explore what code officials\, energy inspectors\, and third-party verifiers are seeing during inspections—where compliance is working\, where it’s not\, and why. Expect practical insights on the most commonly missed requirements\, how builders are responding\, and strategies jurisdictions are using to improve consistency\, coordination\, and enforcement. Whether you’re enforcing the code or preparing for it\, this is the real talk you need. \nThree Lessons Learned: \n\nCommon Violations Stem from Documentation Gaps\, Not Just Install Mistakes: Builders often fail to submit HVAC designs\, duct leakage test results\, and ventilation documentation\, which makes enforcement difficult—even if the installation is adequate.\nThird-Party Coordination is Critical but Often Overlooked: Cities relying on third-party energy verifiers need clear communication and defined roles between verifiers\, inspectors\, and code officials to prevent missed steps in the field.\nTraining and Field Resources Make or Break Compliance: Jurisdictions that invested in inspector training\, updated checklists\, and clear plan review protocols saw far better compliance and fewer failures during final inspections.\n\n  \n\nTweet
