The guideline provides a step-by-step procedure for sensitive energy upgrading, beginning with forming the project team and gathering building and energy use histories, to instituting energy efficiency measures.

Boilers and heating systems have been upgraded, helping to reduce campus water use by 30 percent.

The course will count toward continuing education credits from the American Institute of Architects and Green Building Certification Institute.

Energy efficiency measures tend to focus on HVAC and electrical installations, but there are also significant opportunities to save energy in plumbing design.

The company will lead a program to upgrade building infrastructure in 17 facilities and help cut the city's annual energy operating costs by an estimated 36 percent.

The code development hearings in April will provide all interested parties an opportunity to review proposed changes to the 2021 I-Codes.

This year's conference is in Kansas City, Missouri, from June 22-26.
