Please join us on Friday, February 26, 2010, from 1:00 – 3:30 pm EST, for a NASEO Webinar for state and local energy and code officials on the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) and the specific provisions, under Section 410, related to Energy Code Training, Compliance and Enforcement. In addition to providing guidance on compliance with Section 410 of ARRA relating to building energy codes, the no-cost Webinar will deliver practical information that will help states and municipalities improve their knowledge of building energy use, code development and implementation, technical assistance and training, code enforcement and compliance verification.

This special, 2 ½ hour Webinar session condenses the key aspects of the previous February 4, 2010, Energy Code Workshop in Washington, D.C., into a manageable time for those that were not able to attend the workshop in person. If you are at all involved, or expect to be involved, with building energy codes in your state, you should not miss this valuable opportunity.

State and Territory energy offices, local jurisdictions, and code officials are encouraged to partner with their respective state building regulatory agencies, along with staff in the Governor’s office involved with building energy issues, and participate in this important ARRA related Energy Code Webinar. The coordinated involvement of these segments of government is critical to achieve the energy, environmental and economic opportunities associated with building energy codes.
