Building Codes Assistance Project

This summer, the Building Codes Assistance Project launched the beta version of its new website OCEAN, or the Online Code Environment & Advocacy Network. OCEAN is an interactive, Web-based resource designed to share lessons learned, best practices, educational resources and key facts as they relate to building energy code adoption and implementation.

By creating a virtual community of designers, builders, manufacturers, regulators, advocates and an array of other organizations involved in building energy codes, OCEAN provides valuable, reliable information based on the experience of its users.
