The 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) went into effect on November 14, 2024. The IECC is a model code that sets minimum requirements for energy efficiency for residential and commercial buildings. If you are a builder, remodeler, architect, building official or trade professional it is imperative that you learn about the changes to the code and the options you have to stay compliant in all your upcoming projects. The changes are pretty significant, and it may dramatically affect your bottom line if you don’t take the new code into consideration in your upcoming projects! To that end Rhode Island Builders Association has developed classes in partnership with the National Association of Home Builders to bring you this “MUST KNOW” information.
