NBI | Understanding and Reducing Energy Use and Carbon Emissions in Museums

Virtual

Museums and other cultural institutions have unique building use patterns and characteristics, which can present energy challenges not often encountered in other public buildings. Limited research on the sector’s energy use patterns and greenhouse gas emissions makes energy benchmarking difficult. The presenters in this session will describe recent research on this building type and discuss how it is shaping current practices addressing Climate Action in the cultural sector. The session will feature Case Studies on the efforts of cultural institutions that have committed to reducing their carbon emissions. Qualifies for 1.5 hrs Zero Net Carbon Design Mandatory Continuing Education. Certificate of completion will be provided to those who stay on and watch the webinar live.

2021 IEBC: Structure and Application (Online Live)

Virtual

Last year, California Building Standards Commission altered California’s Title 24 Part 10 Existing Building Code (CEBC) by adding Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 of the International Existing Building Code (IEBC) into the 2022 CEBC. What does this mean? Adding these chapters into the CEBC provides more pathways for compliance when working with existing buildings in California for occupancy changes. The ICC has developed courses on these new-to-California chapters and compliance pathways for adaptive reuse projects. ICC's course 2021 IEBC: Structure and Application (Online Live) will provide an overview of the 2021 IEBC and the various methods of compliance available for existing buildings. This will include an emphasis on the intended scope and applicability of an existing building code. Emphasis will be placed on the similarities and differences between the Prescriptive and Work Area methods. In addition, the intended application of the work area method will be explored.
