Introductory
Codes
Credits: 1.5 AIA LU
New York State and New York City have adopted more efficient energy codes, including stretch code requirements in NYC, mandated by NYC Local Laws. This course will provide both an overview, and specific details on the impact on lighting and control project designs. The codes are based on IECC 2018 and ASHRAE 90.1-2016, which are also being adopted by neighboring states. NYC is going further through Local Laws and incorporating the new NY Stretch code. This course reviews these code changes, shares compliance helps and looks to coming future energy code trends.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- What needs to be done differently? Learn how changes to energy codes affects lighting and lighting control project design and applications.
- How do individual codes stack up? Recognize model code differences and when each is best applied to your project.
- How are new lighting technologies integrated? Understand application examples as codes adopt to new and changing lighting technologies.
- Why are the NYC local laws the drivers that are moving the code?
