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.

With an award of $303,065 from the federal government, Nebraska will seek to increase the state's economic and energy freedom and to become a national leader in energy efficiency and energy building code initiatives. This will be done by adopting a commercial building energy code that is 30 percent beyond the building and lighting requirements set forth in ASHRAE 90.1-2004 and 2006 IECC.
