What is this training about?

The building envelope will outlive all other building systems, so it’s critical that it is designed and built to code. Crushing the Code NYC: Commercial Envelope prepares building and design professionals in New York City to comply with the commercial envelope requirements in the New York City Energy Conservation Code (NYCECC).

In this session, students will examine what makes a building envelope code compliant under the 2020 NYCECC commercial provisions. 

What will you learn?

By the end of this 2-hour training, participants will be able to:

  • Understand how to identify the building thermal envelope and the different components that impact code compliance. 
  • Recognize the importance of the air barrier and the latest industry strategies to create a tight building envelope for improved efficiency and occupant comfort. 
  • Describe the ways that heat flows through the building envelope and learn how to find or calculate the needed thermal resistance for code compliance. 
  • Explain code criteria that limits energy losses from windows.

Who is this training for?

This training is recommended for architects, engineers, code enforcement officials, contractors, building owners and operators and students working towards a career in the building industry. Learn more about the Energy Code and if this training is right for you.
