SPEER Energy Code Webinar: Electrical and Lighting Control Requirements for the IECC

July 28 @ 9 AM: Industry experts, Harold Jepsen from Legrand and Bryan Holland from NEMA, highlight the requirements for lighting and lighting controls for commercial applications for IECC compliance. We’ll look at the requirements and how and why these are needed and how compliance is met through proper product selection.  

SPEER's Texas Statewide Focus Group - Energy Survey Findings

August 8 @ 10:00 am- 11:30 AM. This meeting will unveil issues across the state that are critical to state and federal government priorities based on survey responses from SPEER’s statewide focus group. We’ll cover subject topics related to the communities they serve. The five regional focus groups (North, Central, West, East, Gulf Coast region), in addition to the statewide group, will work to bring together a collaboration of cities on issues such as energy equity, resiliency, transportation, air quality, and other issues critical to state and federal government priorities demonstrated through the two recent acts, IIJA and BIL.

 CELC Workshop: Sharing your SECO Energy Report to Create Organizational Change    

August 17 @ 10:00- 11:15 AM. Our presenter will teach you how to use the power of storytelling, data visualization, and persuasive communication techniques to captivate your audience and motivate them to take action. You'll learn how to turn dry statistics into compelling narratives, and how to use visual aids to make your data come alive. A participant will walk away with a report template and resolution.

The Code Council is releasing a series of documents. These documents outline important considerations and a set of potential solutions for code departments related to permitting, plan review, inspections and the codes. These resources follow from a recent Code Council survey that found that although 93 percent of surveyed code professionals continue to work during the crisis, many do not have the capacity to perform essential duties in a virtual work environment.
