Navigating today's energy codes can be a complex challenge for builders and home energy raters — especially when balancing cost, structural requirements, and compliance. This webinar examines common construction practices in climate zones 3 through 5, with a focus on wall assemblies and credits that support compliance with both the Energy Rating Index (ERI) and the simulated performance path. Participants will walk away with practical strategies for achieving cost-effective, code-compliant energy performance.
What you’ll learn:
How to apply wall assembly options and credits to achieve energy code compliance in climate zones 3–5
Strategies for offsetting energy losses using high-efficiency measures on the ERI and simulated performance paths
How flexible, whole-home energy performance approaches can reduce costs while meeting current regulations
Ways that energy-efficient design can support indoor air quality, occupant health, and overall well-being
How to incorporate health, wellness, and life safety considerations into project planning and design
