Compliance
The key to realizing the full benefits associated with building energy codes is through compliance verification. Establishing and maintaining mechanisms to ensure energy code compliance is important to achieve greater energy and economic goals. Effective compliance and enforcement unlocks deeper energy savings, reduced costs, higher building resale value, and minimized environmental impact. BECP has produced a collection of innovative materials and tools to help the building industry achieve, document and verify compliance with energy codes. BECP has also developed methodologies and tools to help state and local jurisdictions measure and report energy code compliance, and provides technical assistance to help address compliance challenges.
