2021 & 2024 IECC: Impact on Structural Building Systems

On-Demand Webinar

The 2021 and 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) introduced significant energy efficiency requirements that directly affect structural building systems. From continuous insulation and advanced framing to air sealing and ductwork relocation, these updates present new challenges around wall bracing, load paths, moisture management, and floor system design. This webinar explores the structural implications of these changes and offers practical guidance for designers, engineers, and builders working to balance efficiency, durability, and code compliance.

What you’ll learn:

  • How the 2021 and 2024 IECC energy code updates affect structural building systems, including wall bracing and load paths

  • The structural considerations of continuous insulation and advanced framing techniques

  • Strategies for achieving compliance with advanced energy codes without compromising structural integrity

What you’ll earn

  • A downloadable certificate of completion is available after completing a brief quiz

  • Participants who complete the quiz qualify for AIA HSW/LU.

  • CEUs and certificate(s) received upon course completion are transferrable and may be applied towards PDHs or other general CEUs/certifications, such as PE
