Building Energy Codes Compliance: Practices Around the World
Building energy codes are recognized worldwide as a proven policy for achieving economy-wide savings in buildings. While codes used across nations tend to vary in format and approach, several countries share the same key issues. These often include challenges such as the need for faster and easier methods to verify codes in practice, requirements for existing buildings, and the ability of codes to adapt to new and advanced technologies. The paper findings draw from interviews and surveys of different building energy codes practices found in member countries of the International Energy Agency’s Energy in Buildings and Communities Programme (EBC) Building Energy Codes Working Group (BECWG), with a deeper look at practices related to codes compliance. The paper identifies and draws conclusions on emerging practices involving building energy codes across member countries.
