Introductions
	Meet the Chief Building Code Official (CBO) and energy conservation consultant for this set of video trainings. Gil Rossmiller, CBO of the Town of Parker, and Steve Andrews energy consultant will guide your through this quick and lively code introduction.

Adoptions
	Gil (CBO) and Steve (energy consultant) discuss the benefits of adopting an energy code. What to expect and some lessons learned by a Colorado town.

Inspection Requirements
	What additional requirements are levied upon building departments to inspect the energy code, review plans, and working with builders to comply with the inspection requirements?

Builder Concerns
	Gil and Steve discuss how a building department and builder can work together to make the energy code process a smooth process for both organizations. They also discuss options if the building associations have issues with moving to the new energy codes.

Compliance Options
	The different types of compliance paths are discussed and the benefits are described as to why a jurisdiction would want to allow more than one compliance path in their jurisdiction. Compliance options include the prescriptive tables, trade-offs using tools such as REScheck, and the simulated performance approach, often called an energy rating.

Compliance Software
	Compliance code software has been available to building departments and builders since the 1992 Energy Policy Act was passed by the US Congress. The Department of Energy (DOE) has developed and maintained the REScheck software (previously called MECcheck) to perform the complicated mathematical calculations called out in the energy code.

Unvented crawlspaces
	Learn the criteria to allow unvented crawlspaces in a jurisdiction and how to build this type of crawlspace. The building science behind the construction of this type of crawlspace is discussed. Learn how a building department verifies compliance.

Vapor Barriers
	Vapor barriers have been called out in a number of the energy code releases. Learn what is considered a vapor barrier and how a building department performs a plans review for vapor barriers and then inspects the vapor barrier in the field.

Performance Compliance Option
	In this video Gil and Steve discuss voluntary residential labeling programs such as ENERGY STAR(R) and Built Green Colorado and if these programs can be used to show energy code compliance or replace some of the building department inspection requirements.

2x4 vs 2x6 walls
	Listen as a CBO and energy consultant discuss how houses built today can comply with the energy codes with either 2x4 or 2x6 exterior walls. There is more than one option to meet the energy code than just following the prescriptive table.

CBO Secrets
	In this lively and interactive discussion a Colorado CBO describes how his building department, town, and builders are working together to build houses that comply with the energy codes. This is a don't miss video!

History of Energy Codes in Colorado
	Listen as the Program Manager from the state energy office (Governors Office of Energy Management and Conservation-OEMC) discusses the status of Colorado energy codes, what is being done in Colorado in the 2000's and how the OEMC can help jurisdictions with the adoption of the energy code.

Energy codes, environment, and oil
	During this keynote talk at a national energy conference in Colorado; Steve Andrews shows the relationship between energy codes, energy consumption, and future trends of Colorado's energy use. This video is a must see for anyone interested in knowing the background of why energy codes are important for Colorado and the benefits they bring to all Coloradoans.
