Free Commercial IECC 2024 Chapter Five - Existing Buildings

Rhode Island Energy’s Energy Code Technical Support initiative provides Rhode Island building code officials and inspectors with free residential and commercial energy code training and continuing education credits

The current Rhode Island energy code is based upon 2024 IECC, which was adopted in 2024. An updated version of the Rhode Island energy code was released in 2025, which included Amendments RK and CH, which establish electric-ready provisions for residential and commercial buildings.

Please join us for a presentation offered FREE of charge by Rhode Island Energy on techniques to help meet the current commercial energy code.
