International Energy Conservation Code

Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2011
Registration: 8:30 a.m.
Program: 9–11 a.m.

The recently published 2012 International Energy Conservation Code includes several amendments that will increase the existing code’s energy efficiency. Participants will learn about the major changes between the 2009 and 2012 versions of the code and hear estimates of potential energy savings for homes in the Kansas City climate zone. We will also discuss the present state of residential code adoption and activity in the midwest.

Presenter:

Isaac Elnecave has been an engineer and energy-policy analyst for 15 years. He is the senior policy manager at the Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (MEEA) where his primary focus is the building energy codes program.

Before working at MEEA, Elnecave managed the appliance efficiency standards and building energy codes programs at Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships, where he was responsible for promoting the adoption and effective implementation of policies through the development and dissemination of technical and policy information. Elnecave worked closely with the Executive Office of Energy and Environment to develop the stretch commercial code, recently adopted by the state of Massachusetts.
