What do you learn in this course?

As the name suggests you will learn how to meet (and exceed) the requirements of the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code® (2009 IECC) for residences in Montana. Not only will you learn WHAT the code requires, but also HOW to meet it and how to do even BETTER with energy conservation. By designing and/or building above and beyond the code you can set yourself and your business apart. And in the process we will teach you how high-performance building also improves the comfort, safety, health, durability, and affordability of your projects.

Part of the day will be spent learning the theory and part will be spent on a jobsite seeing how it is put into practice, including how a Blower Door Test and a Duct Blast Test are performed and how correct insulation, air-sealing, heating, ventilation, and moisture control systems are installed.

This will be a full-day, in-person training course with the following learning objectives:

This is essential knowledge for anyone involved in the residential design and construction industry in Montana, regardless of whether or not you work within the areas covered by city or county building departments.

If you are designing, building, inspecting, or planning to build a home in Montana you need to understand how to meet the 2009 IECC.

Architects
Building Designers

Code Officials
Home Inspectors
General Contractors
