10 Energy Impact of Building Energy Codes Building energy codes represent a significant savings opportunity for U.S. home and business owners. Model energy codes for residential and commercial buildings are projected to save cumulatively from : - $26 billion in energy cost savings - 84 MMT of avoided CO2 emissions quads of primary energy These savings equate to the annual emissions of: - 77 million passenger vehicles coal plants - 89 million homes For perspective, the primary energy consumption of the entire U.S. commercial and residential sectors in 205 was estimated at 38 quads

12 Code Compliance Passing codes are important, but complying is equally important Education and training are barriers to compliance (both building trades and officials) BUT lack of willingness to comply/enforce is bigger issue (don t think energy is important) Buildings will exist for over 00 years; we need to get them right the first time! We have compliance surveys in Missouri and Kentucky

13 DOE Residential Compliance Survey There are eight requirements observed. Each state needs to get 63 sets of observations for the eight requirements. Each site is visited once. Visits are observations; not meant to impact enforcement at time of visit. All of the site data will remain anonymous. Building officials will know about the survey but will not accompany the surveyors. All results will be reported as a statewide value.

14 Observable Items (DOE Methodology) Foundation Insulation (basement, crawl space or slab as applicable). Above-Grade Wall Insulation Ceiling/Roof Insulation Envelope Air Leakage (Blower Door Tests) Duct Leakage (Unconditioned and Conditioned) High Efficacy Lighting HVAC Sizing Window U-Factor 4

15 Observable Items (Beyond DOE Mandated Items) HVAC Sizing (Missouri, Kentucky) Duct Design (Kentucky) Supply CFM Air Flow Rates (Kentucky) 5

37 Summary The buildings we build now we be around for at least 00 years. We should build them to be resilient and energy-efficient! Energy Codes can assist communities in meeting climate goals, achieving zero-energy, and becoming leaders Compliance with energy codes is key; we need everyone to understand the importance
