Details:
The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA), Energy Division manages the State Energy Program (SEP) for Alabama by the authority of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
The SEP is a formula grant used to reduce energy consumption in Alabama. The primary goal of the project will be to develop and provide training activities and resources as well as technical assistance targeted toward code officials, building inspectors, engineers, architects, and residential and commercial builders and subcontractors, or other audiences as appropriate. Training will be based on the energy requirements of the version of the Alabama Energy and Residential Code (AERC) that is in effect at the time, and may include classroom training, webinars, online resources, or other approved types of training. Resource development may include online training modules, manuals, references, or other approved resources. All trainings should be approved for various appropriate Continuing Education Units (CEUs), including International Code Council (ICC) credits.
Training and resources should address several areas and can range from broadly encompassing the AERC to detail level training on specific aspects of the codes. Trainings which provide CEUs may include but should not be limited to the following topics: residential building and energy codes, commercial energy codes, COMCheck, the Alabama Residential Energy Code Compliance Calculator, and others as needed.
