Air sealing makes a big impact on a home’s durability and comfort. Why should you inspect for UDC air sealing requirements or know if your approach to air sealing delivers high quality? In this webinar, you’ll become thoroughly familiar with the UDC single family air sealing requirements. Proper air sealing and insulation work together to deliver energy efficiency. This course gives you a close look at the UDC’s air sealing techniques so that you know you’re building to high standards. We’ll show you the “why” behind the code requirement. We’ll also walk you through what materials to use, where to use them, and how to install them to meet the code requirements.

Load shifting: the market potential for carbon and energy savings
November 10 • Online course
Building code advancements continue to chip away at program baselines. Some of our tried-and-true energy savings measures come close to saturating the market. It's getting tougher – and more expensive - for utilities to meet savings goals.
Utilities can prioritize measures that:
shift time of use
reduce overall energy use, and
lower costs and emissions – all without disrupting the grid.
But when load shifting increases overall energy use, there’s a conflict with energy efficiency policy. Load shifting can also create a potential incentive for load building.
