Nebraska Energy Codes Training Program

The Nebraska Energy Codes Training Program is designed to prepare the Nebraska workforce for upcoming changes in construction best practices – from the adoption of the 2018 IECC as the statewide energy code, as well as advanced building technologies that are becoming more widely available and increasingly incorporated into projects.

The program will run from August 2020 through July 2024, and will provide trainings on energy codes, building science and advanced technologies to traditional industry groups, including builders, code officials and design professionals, as well as other important stakeholders including students and public officials.
