Codes & Standards
The Codes and Standards Working Group focused on how adoption of stretch or advanced codes and standards by local and state government can push the adoption of high-performance commercial building technologies, systems, and practices. In addition, the group helped to identify any systemic or technical barriers within current model codes and standards that discourage increased energy efficiency, block use of alternative energy or energy management systems, or prevent the use of novel and unique approaches to achieving zero energy buildings. Finally, the group examined the political and systemic obstacles that prevent state and local governments from adopting codes and standards that will force construction of zero-, or near zero-, energy buildings, and how those obstacles can be overcome.
