Green building and sustainable design are hot topics in the building design and construction industry. Beyond the hype, though there is a real advantage to employing many of the tactics espoused by these strategies, chief among these advantages is the ability to save money while saving the environment. Many standards have been written in an attempt to codify these green approaches. ASHRAE has put out their 189.1 standard, and industry personnel are very familiar with LEED. Another entity that is pushing the boundaries of green and sustainable design is the IECC - International Energy Conservation Code. In this course we will explore the tenets and nuances of that standard.
