This webinar for architects and contractors in Hawaii covers the low-rise residential requirements of the
2015 International Energy Conservation Code, including county amendments. Both envelope and
systems requirements will be addressed, along with the new Tropical Zone compliance option. A local
panel will answer questions and discuss experience with energy code compliance
COURSE DESCRIPTION
![Page 5: Residential Requirements of the 2015 IECC with County ... · 2015 IECC with County Amendments Webinar April 29, 2020. Credit(s) earned on completion of this course will be reported](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052003/6015ed4a13f41137637f565c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
At the end of this course,
participants will be able to:1. Determine applicability and requirements for the
Tropical-Zone energy code compliance.
2. Identify complying energy-efficient residential
envelope constructions.
3. Determine applicable County energy code
amendments.
4. Evaluate energy efficiency design options with the
residential points option.
