The latest air barrier requirements are coming for commercial buildings in Colorado. Denver’s latest adoption of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) includes requirements for air barrier verification and air leakage testing and is a vital part of the recently published 2021 IECC. Air barrier verification and testing has been a key piece of energy code compliance for residential and low-rise multi-family construction but is foreign to most commercial construction.  

This webinar will focus on the basics of air barrier verification and blower testing from pre-construction requirements through essential inspection and testing points revealed throughout the construction process.
