Building energy codes and appliance standards are essential pathways to reduce energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions; drive high-performance building practices; protect consumers; and grow local economies. These cost-effective policy tools ensure that buildings, homes, and appliances meet and exceed minimum energy efficiency performance, resulting in healthy and resilient homes and buildings that are safeguarded against expensive and disruptive future retrofits.  

NEEP supports states in advancing codes and standards. We facilitate state code collaboratives and educate stakeholders and communities about adoption and implementation. NEEP provides technical assistance and educational resources on the benefits and cost savings associated with codes and standards. NEEP works proactively with states, communities, and non-profit organizations to share lessons learned and regional trends.
