Energy Code Ace strives to make energy code compliance fast and easy. During this session, we’ll explore how designers can use the Virtual Compliance Assistant to document nonresidential envelope projects using the prescriptive approach, verify compliance prior to permit submittal and even provide installers with pre-populated installation forms. Please join Jill Marver, Energy Code Ace Program Manager, and Sally Blair, Director, NORESCO, for this engaging tour.

When looking at the environmental impact of a building, it is important to assess every stage of the environmental life cycle, from material extraction and product manufacturing to building operations and maintenance through to end-of-life. Concrete offers many environmental attributes that help reduce the overall environmental life cycle impacts of a building. This presentation explores how life cycle assessment can be used to measure and lower the environmental impacts of buildings. The in-practice portion of this webinar will include case studies presented by leading industry sustainability advocates from Gensler and Magnusson Klemencic Associates and how they’ve incorporated LCA into their projects. https://youtu.be/IEgivFaWR1E
