Courtyard by Marriott - Marlborough, MA

Register Today

An opportunity for regulators, program administrators and other energy efficiency stakeholders in the Northeast to interact and learn about ongoing codes and standards policies, programs and evaluation plans, with the goal of helping the region achieve more aggressive savings goals and claim benefits associated with building energy codes and appliance standards.

Objectives

• Share case studies of approved Codes and Standards Program and the framework for claiming savings

• Learn about and discuss emerging policies, programs and practices in key states that support advances in energy codes and appliance standards and methods to promote code compliance

• Encourage dialogue between regulators and program administrators with a goal of building the path towards increased ability of states to attain, measure, and claim savings from "nontraditional" energy efficiency programs such as codes and standards activities

Background:

This Workshop is supported by the NEEP Evaluation, Measurement and Verification Forum sponsors. It was developed to share information about codes and standards programs and policies, including estimation and attribution of savings related to codes and standards. With this, the region can build on the precedent set in California, as well as the initial evaluation framework developments in Massachusetts and important first steps in other states.

From a Dec 2009 Institute for Electric Efficiency (IEE) study: " To advance energy efficiency nationwide, state regulators, utilities, advocates and government entities will need to identify how [traditional] energy efficiency programs and codes and standards can work together...Depending on codes and standards adopted, national savings of 2.5 to 7% (104 - 293 TWh) of the AEO 2020 electricity forecast could be achieved."
