Building Codes for Energy Efficiency--Commercial Programs

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-003766

Building energy codes establish energy efficiency standards for residential and commercial buildings, thereby setting a minimum level of energy efficiency and locking in the energy savings at the time of new construction or renovation. Codes typically specify requirements for "thermal resistance" in the building shell and windows, minimum air leakage, and minimum heating and cooling equipment efficiencies.
