Energy Efficiency Symposium

Our Energy Efficiency Symposium will explore how roofs are evolving to handle increasingly extreme weather—covering new ASCE 2022 wind requirements, best practices for very severe hail, and strategies for managing heavy rainfall. They will also address the continuous updates to model energy efficiency codes (ASHRAE 90.1 & IECC), including how and when these codes are adopted by states and local jurisdictions. Finally, the sessions will examine the development of air leakage requirements in commercial buildings, the current status of adoption, and the role of enforcement through whole building airtightness testing.
