Designing for Efficiency: Envelope Considerations in Energy Codes
Presented by Allison McSherry RA, BECxP, CxA+BE, LEED AP BD+C, CEM, NCARB – Â Associate V | A/E Group , Klein & Hoffman
The ever-evolving energy codes require designers to stay on top of each new iteration and understand the impact early design decisions have on all aspects of a project. This presentation provides an overview of the major envelope design drivers within the 2021 IECC/ASHRAE 90.1-2019 and 2024 IECC/ASHRAE 90.1-2022 energy code cycles. It will explore major code differences, with a focus on Illinois and Chicago-specific requirements, equipping designers with the knowledge to ensure compliance and optimize high-rise building performance.
