Next up in the sustainable specs series is Chicago Chapter of the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI)'s event on The Evolving Landscape of Commercial Energy Efficiency. If you're working in Chicago or another jurisdiction with advanced energy codes, this session will help demystify the enclosure testing and commissioning standards you need to meet for a high performance building.
