Mastering Local Energy Codes: A New Tool for Building Owners

By Todd Columbus

We understand that staying ahead of local energy codes can be a daunting task. Our team is here to help. That’s why we’re introducing a new resource on our website that provides high-level information about important energy deadlines in major cities across the United States.

We’ve started with six jurisdictions in the US, including, Boston, Denver, Montgomery County, New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC, where building owners and managers are facing stringent energy deadlines. Meeting these deadlines is not a suggestion; it’s a crucial step to avoid heavy penalties imposed by local energy codes.

WHY IS THIS A HELPFUL RESOURCE FOR BUILDING OWNERS AND MANAGERS?

1. Our comprehensive resource is designed to give building owners and managers the knowledge needed to navigate these local energy code deadlines effortlessly. We provide a clear breakdown of the key dates and requirements in each city to ensure building compliance and avoid unnecessary fines.
2. It is also available to be downloaded on the go. By providing a name and email, anyone can access a PDF version of the guide directly on their device. As a result, people can access the information and stay informed, whenever and wherever they need it.
3. The metrics speak for themselves – energy-efficient buildings not only contribute to environmental sustainability but also lead to significant cost savings. According to industry data, buildings account for nearly 40% of total energy consumption, making compliance with energy codes a strategic and responsible choice.
