Course Outline
1) 2020 Indiana Energy Code Review
2) 2020 Indiana Energy Code Review as it applies to remodels/additions

3) Ekotrope Performance Method software demonstration
4) RESCheck Total UA Method software demonstration

This course will help building officials understand the procedure for working with builders to receive their Energy Code certification documents and it will focus on all the construction requirements for both new home construction and remodels. The class will gain knowledge in energy efficient framing, proper insulation installation, appropriate R-values and U-values and the 3 methods for compliance (Performance, Total Ua, Prescriptive). The participants will be able to identify the proper procedure for compliance and the most commonly utilized compliance path for new home construction vs. remodels. The participants will be able to perform field inspections where they can identify whether or not the home has proper framing, insulation, and other code components.

This program will also include a legislative update presented by members of IABO's Legislative Committee. This presentation will break down the new legislation in practical terms from House Bills 1001, 1003, and 1005 and explain how communities should prepare for upcoming changes involving permitting timelines, fee structures, impact fees, code administration, and the transition of authority from the Fire Prevention and Building Safety Commission to the Department of Homeland Security.

Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of:

Key legislative changes affecting local governments
New compliance requirements and deadlines
Potential impacts on permit review and department operations
Fee forfeiture concerns and funding implications
What building and planning departments should be doing now to prepare

This session is designed for building officials, inspectors, planners, municipal leadership, permit staff, engineers, and others involved in local development and code administration. Whether you are directly involved in enforcement or responsible for policy and operations, this presentation will provide valuable insight into the future of building regulation in Indiana.
