SUMMARY:GETTING TO ZERO: CARBON NEUTRAL CODES
DESCRIPTION:For decades\, U.S. building energy codes have centered on kilowatt-hour savings in buildings. But urgency on climate change is pressing us to rapidly address and mitigate carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions from the built environment\, which is responsible for 39% of operational and embodied carbon. Join us for a one-hour webinar on the opportunities for states and cities to leverage their energy codes in order to maximize carbon reductions and minimize costs including a broad overview of best practice strategies and approach in action. NBI staff will introduce new “decarbonization code language” that it is compatible with the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and can be adopted as an overlay option. The code language and supporting guidance\, which will help adopting agencies move to carbon neutral requirements in newly constructed homes and commercial buildings\, prioritizes efficient electric equipment and is designed so that it can be implemented to meet jurisdictions where they are.
