This brief, educational webinar is approximately 12 minutes long, and can be viewed by clicking here.
Background
The presentation advocates for the adoption of the 2009 IECC by municipalities, building departments and other key stakeholders. Compared to having no standard in place, and compared to the 2003 or 2006 IECC, the 2009 code will result in considerable and immediate operating cost savings and rapid payback.
