Is complying with the Energy Code just another chore? It doesn’t have to be! Gain valuable insight into your projects, collaborate with your team, AND build buildings that support Zero Net Carbon (ZNCD) goals via lower energy use and operational carbon. Join us for this one-hour session. See how to transform energy code compliance from a tedious task into a strategic advantage for your architectural practice.

Learning Objectives:
1. Determine Energy Code requirements based on project scope of work and project goals such compliance to the Energy Code, Zero Net Carbon Design (ZNCD) and LEED.
2. Identify the various compliance pathways available and determine which option is most appropriate for the project goals.
3. Verify that design documents align with the Certificate of Compliance, and satisfy the project goals, using the Certificate of Compliance as a comprehensive checklist.
4. Employ the performance approach to offer guidance on measuring energy usage and operational carbon of the proposed project goals.
