Lighting is accountable for roughly 35 percent of energy usage in a typical commercial building. To address lighting energy consumption, the new DC Energy Conservation Code and Green Construction Code include many new code provisions that are often more stringent and detailed. Attend this session to learn about the new requirements including integration between timers, occupancy sensors, vacancy sensors, automatic daylight provisions, lighting power density, and other provisions of lighting as it pertains to the DC Energy Conservation Code and the Green Construction Code. Methods to document compliance using tools such as COMcheck will also be covered. 01/19 – Residential Code Compliance Workshop/ 1 pm / 1100 4th Street SW Rm E200 (Register here) A bi-weekly hands-on workshop designed for permit applicants who have submitted for building permit and are pending or have already received “energy review” comments.
