Description
Connecticut has adopted the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), bringing important updates that will impact the design, documentation, and construction of commercial buildings across the state.
Join BuildGreenCT for a live webinar exploring the most significant changes with a focus on the commercial section. Participants will gain a practical understanding of the updated requirements, available compliance pathways, and strategies for integrating the new code into project design and delivery.
Connecticut’s adoption of the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC 2024) marks one of the most significant energy code updates in recent years. While the new code builds upon the foundation of IECC 2021, it also introduces expanded compliance pathways, additional efficiency credits, revised envelope and mechanical requirements, and new provisions that encourage earlier integration of building performance into the design process.
Whether your projects pursue high-performance certifications or simply need to meet minimum code requirements, IECC 2024 will influence how architects, engineers, owners, and contractors approach design, documentation, and energy modeling. Understanding these changes early can reduce redesign, streamline permitting, and help project teams make informed decisions that improve both building performance and long-term value.
