1.1: Code Compliance and Enforcement

Architecture 2030 Template Language & Guidance

Code compliance:

Achieve full compliance with both the state adopted energy efficiency and renewable energy standards (Appendix CC) by:

  1. offering training for design professionals, contractors, plan checkers, and field inspectors,
  2. requiring consistent compliance documentation to be submitted with each permit application, and
  3. verifying that adequate renewable energy is procured through a locally administered energy benchmarking and disclosure program

Code enforcement:

Monitor compliance by randomly selecting permit applications for a more thorough review of the plans and field verification after construction. [Field inspection is the only way to truly verify full compliance but this can’t be done for a couple of years after implementation of the RES.]
