Building Standards and Codes for Energy Conservation
Over the last few years, public attention has been increasingly attracted to problems related to the shortage of energy. A major area where the conservation of energy would be possible is in the design and construction of new buildings and the retrofitting of existing buildings. Building standards and codes, traditionally written for health and safety, are viewed as a mechanism for accomplishing such conservation. The purpose of this paper is to review activities relative to this objective at the Federal level and within the various segments of the building regulatory community including State and local governments, model building code groups, standards developing organizations and building regulators.
