This training breaks down the Energy Conservation Construction Code of New York State (ECCCNYS-2025), why it was developed, and how it continues to evolve to meet today’s building performance standards and climate goals. You’ll become familiar with how the code is organized, learn how to navigate its key sections with confidence, and walk through the different compliance pathways and when to use them. You’ll also explore how increasing code stringency supports broader trends in building decarbonization and where the code is headed.
Walk away with a strong foundation in the NYS Energy Code, so you can begin applying it effectively and keep your projects moving forward.
