| Course Description:
Air Barriers and the IECC: The Energy Code has been cracking down on the requirements for air barriers in both commercial and residential buildings. What does that mean for code officials? Let's take a look at the different requirements and how to verify compliance in both plan review and inspection. We'll look at some building science behind the requirements that made it into the code and then go over several photos and details to understand where the issues arise, what the fixes might be, and how to verify compliance.
