Building Codes Assistance Project

Join over 700 of energy efficiency's most notable leaders, representing 40+ countries, at the Energy Efficiency Global Forum & Exposition (EE Global), being held May 10-12, 2010 at the Washington DC Convention Center. With over 80% of 2009 participants self-identifying as executives or managers, EE Global 2010 will provide access to decision makers and offer executive-level insight and dialogue. Focusing solely on energy efficiency from the perspective of all energy end-use sectors (buildings, industrial and transportation) and with coverage of all cross-cutting issues (finance, policy, technology, and market transformation), EE Global serves as an exchange of best practices and policies for global implementation of energy efficiency.

On April 7, a bill (SB 59) was introduced in the Delaware Senate intending to make the state eligible for federal money under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) by mandating the adoption and enforcement of the most recent versions the national model energy codes, the 2009 IECC and ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007.  COMcheck and REScheck software (and ENERGY STAR software as an alternative) would be allowed to show compliance. Subsequent versions of the two model energy codes would be reviewed for updates every three years.
