Matt Kinning has organized a Lunch and Learn with Building & Safety to explain the changes with the 2018 International Energy and Conservation Code on October 2. Please consider attending if you are available. Lastly, we held a meeting with LES regarding the new conduit requirements on new construction. We provided them with potential costs associated with the change to conduit. They have listened to our concerns and their Board of Directors voted to defer implementation of the conduit requirement and is working to develop a pilot program to test the efficiency of the conduit procedure. Watch your upcoming issues of the Lincoln Business Builder for more information.
