3 Energy Efficiency Training Week (Buildings) 5. Toolkit: Building energy codes and standards Trainers: Brian Dean and Peter Graham Purpose: To teach emerging professionals in the emerging economies about building energy codes and standards. This course will include mandatory, voluntary, voluntary with mandatory minimums and stretch codes. This course will also include a discussion of prescriptive, performance and other compliance paths within codes. Scenario: A respected industry association claims that the building energy codes out of date. How do you go about testing this claim, and what do you do if this information is correct?

4 1. Prescriptive Codes: Specify requirements for key elements such as wall and ceiling insulation, window and doors, roofs, foundations, heating, ventilation air-conditioning, equipment efficiency, water heating, lighting fixtures, and controls. Compliance with these codes is commonly assessed by checking project designs and specifications against the list of prescribed requirements. 2. Simple Trade-Off Codes: Types of Building Energy Codes Typically allow for trade-offs between similar building components. For example, less efficient insulation for more efficient windows in the building envelope.

5 3. Performance Codes: Specify a minimum required level of energy consumption or intensity for the whole building. They require energy modelling to be conducted at design stage. Compliance is commonly checked by comparing the modelled energy performance of the design with a reference building of the same type. 4. Outcome-based Codes: Types of Building Energy Codes Requires demonstration of buildings achieving code required performance in operation. Compliance is typically possible through energy performance certificates or with energy disclosure policies.
