The Inland Regional Energy Network (I-REN) Program is pleased to provide upcoming energy building codes training sessions which include approved Continuing Education Units (CEU) through the International Code Council (ICC). The virtual trainings are provided courtesy of I-REN.
I-REN is a strategic partnership between the Coachella Valley Association of Governments, San Bernardino Council of Governments (SBCOG), and the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG).

| Thursday, June 27, 2024 9:00am–10:30am CEU 0.1 | Quality Insulation Installation I-REN is proud to collaborate with Energy Code Ace to offer this training on Quality Insulation Installation. This course focuses on prescriptive quality insulation installation (QII) requirements in the 2022 Energy Code for new single-family buildings of any size and additions greater than 700 ft². It helps designers and architects create projects that meet QII requirements and helps energy consultants clarify the minimum requirements and schedule of inspections the team needs to succeed when the Certificate of Compliance form (CF1R and LMCI) calls for QII. Contractors will learn how to coordinate with HERS raters and subcontractors on inspection dates and other QII requirements. Building departments will learn how to support QII projects at plan check and inspection to ensure the QII process goes smoothly. HERS raters will learn about communicating with the construction team on how to prepare a project to meet QII requirements during HERS inspections. |
| Thursday, July 25, 2024 9:00am–10:30am CEU 0.1 | Controlled Environment Horticulture (CEH) – 2022 Energy Code I-REN is pleased to partner with Energy Code Ace to offer a training on indoor agriculture in the 2022 code on July 25, 2024. The 2022 Energy Code (Title 24, Part 6) includes new requirements for Controlled Environment Horticulture spaces and provides clarity for how the envelope and mechanical requirements of the Energy Code apply to these conditioned indoor grow environments. In this 90-minute session, we review the electrical, envelope and mechanical requirements for indoor grow facilities and conditioned greenhouses. CEUs: 0.1 |
