This guide provides an aid that will make it easier to apply the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) control requirements found in building energy codes and addresses requirements defined by 2009 and 2012 editions of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007 and ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2010.
This guide provides key information to policy makers on energy codes and standards and offers guidance on how policy makers can support the creation of statewide energy efficiency goals and standards. In addition, this guide instructs policy makers on how they can:
- Encourage the adoption of statewide codes.
- Establish energy code awareness programs.
- Support enforcement of and compliance with energy codes.
- Participate in the development of model codes and standards.
- Determine the viability of the new code.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE's) Building Energy Codes Program (BECP) developed this toolkit to help the enforcement community achieve higher levels of compliance with building energy codes.
Although this toolkit is not intended for use by designers, developers, home owners or renters, building owners, or building operators, it may provide those individuals some insight into the issues facing the enforcement community.
This toolkit is organized around six important steps for enforcement. Each step in this toolkit provides a general description, discussion of the issues faced by the enforcement community, and a listing of resources for the enforcement community.
