Battery Energy Storage Systems: Codes, Standards, Safety, and Risks Virtual Workshop, 10/7

Throughout the United States, homes, businesses, and other properties are increasingly installing battery energy storage systems (BESS), typically paired with solar PV. Join the Sustainable Energy Action Committee (SEAC) for a virtual workshop on the codes, standards, safety, and risk considerations when permitting BESS.

We will review the technology, model codes, UL 9540 safety standard, UL 9540A fire testing, Power Control Systems (PCS), and common issues with permitting, plan review, and inspection of BESS. Panelists will also address questions on portable batteries and multifamily application of BESS.

The workshop is designed for building departments, fire departments, designers, installers, and manufacturers. Attendees may receive 0.4 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) from the International Code Council (ICC). The sessions will include ample time for Q&A, so please bring your questions and concerns.

If you cannot attend the live webinar, we encourage you to register to receive a session recording. By registering for this event you will receive occasional updates on IREC news and events.
