Building Codes Assistance Project

The City of Albuquerque's ‘High Performance Building Ordinance', adopted by the Albuquerque City Council on September 17, 2007, establishes building design and construction code requirements that are designed to minimize the environmental impacts of residential and commercial buildings in Albuquerque by using energy, water and materials more efficiently. The requirements apply to new construction and remodeling or repairs to equipment and systems in existing buildings.

For more information, consult the City of Albuquerque's City Council Website and view the Albuquerque's High Performance Buildings Ordinance (PDF).
