Join the BIA's three-part webinar series on the 2021 Energy Codes, which become mandatory in Philadelphia on July 1, 2026. Each session will break down key changes in energy efficiency requirements, explain how they impact building design and construction, and provide practical guidance for compliance.
Whether you’re a builder, developer, design professional, or contractor working in Philadelphia, this series emphasizes practical compliance awareness and risk management—helping teams understand what is different, where assumptions may no longer hold, and how to adjust design and construction workflows early to avoid delays, redesign, or inspection challenges.

This will include envelope verification, high level overview of blower door testing best practices, and mechanical commissioning requirements under each path.
