Massachusetts Energy Code

The Massachusetts Energy Code sets standards for new buildings and renovations to ensure they are energy-efficient and environmentally responsible. It requires buildings to use less energy for heating, cooling, lighting, and appliances by incorporating better insulation, efficient HVAC systems, windows, and lighting. The goal is to reduce energy consumption, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and save occupants money on utility bills. The code aligns with national standards but includes Massachusetts-specific requirements to address local climate and conditions, promoting sustainable construction and long-term energy savings.
