This resource from the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) covers facts about the 2009 Washington State Energy Code that counter claims made by the Building Industry Association of Washington (BIAW).

This report compares the first cost and energy savings of the 2009 edition of the Washington State Energy Code to the 2006 edition of code for residential buildings.

This report compares the first cost and energy savings of the 2009 edition of the Washington State Energy Code to the 2006 edition of code for non-residential buildings.

 This code compliance case study looks at the Wisconsin practice requiring design professionals to sign a statement of compliance at the completion of a building project. This practice requires that a design professional be involved not only with the plan review, but also during the construction process. 

This document breaks down the associated costs for important state-led activities which support energy code compliance over a 3 year period, distinuishing between small, medium, and large states.

This document takes a look at valuable state-led activities which support energy code compliance and identifies average associated costs over a 3 year period.

This introductory presentation from the Idaho Energy Code Collaborative covers the 2009 IECC, basic building science, and the value of energy codes, among other topics.

This report evaluates NEEA's Codes and Standards Program. The conclusions and recommendations presented in this report on NEEA’s Codes and Standards Program are based on evaluation data collected from site visits, interviews with NEEA contractors, visits to building jurisdictions, and data from NEEA’s training efforts.

 In the City of Austin, Texas, which had grown to nearly 800,000 residents by 2010, the adoption and implementation of a requirement for third-party testing to verify compliance with energy codes in new residential buildings has bolstered energy efficient residential construction. The process of designing and adopting a third-party testing requirement has generated awareness among developers, homebuilders, and contractors of the need to achieve minimum energy efficiency standards. Implementation of a code-required testing program has held these stakeholders more accountable for seeing that these standards are met. The end result: higher energy code compliance rates in newly constructed homes.

 This code compliance case study looks at the role of third-party plan review as a way to improve compliance with building energy codes.
