Energy Codes
Energy codes are regulations that set standards for how buildings use energy. They ensure structures are designed and built to be energy-efficient, which can reduce utility costs and environmental impact. These codes specify requirements for insulation, windows, HVAC systems, lighting, and other elements to improve a building's overall energy performance. By following energy codes, builders create homes and commercial buildings that are more sustainable, comfortable, and cost-effective over time. They are part of broader efforts to conserve resources, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and promote responsible energy use.
