Crushing the Code NYS: Commercial Envelope [FULL]

Course Overview

The building envelope will outlive all other building systems, so it’s critical that it is designed and built to code. Crushing the Code NYS: Commercial Envelope prepares building and design professionals in New York State to comply with the commercial envelope requirements in the 2020 Energy Conservation Construction Code of New York State (ECCCNYS).

In this session, students will examine what makes a building envelope code compliant under the 2020 ECCCNYS commercial provisions.
