Code Update Power MEP Video

On September 1st, 2021, the City of Austin adopted the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). You may have noticed that Austin completely skipped the 2018 version of the code, meaning that we are now adopting older changes from 2018 as well as new changes in 2021.

In this second video of a four-part series, we discuss how key changes in the requirements for lighting design and controls will affect building designers and developers in Austin, TX. If you missed the first video about the lighting code changes, click here.
