ALRD Overview
DOE INSTRUCTIONS
For States initiating adoption of a qualifying code, each application will consist of:
- An Adoption Plan
- Additional detail on the submission to DOE to reserve funds to initiate the award and/or advance between project phases are outlined in Table 2 in Part III, Section D (ii).
For States that have adopted and are undertaking compliance and enforcement activities a qualifying code, each application will consist of:
- Certification of the already adopted building energy code demonstrating equivalence to the latest model building energy code or zero energy building code, per DOE analysis.
- An Implementation Plan (requirements further detailed in Part III, Section C (iii))
- Additional detail on the submission to DOE to reserve funds to initiate the award and/or advance between project phases are outlined in Table 2 in Part III, Section D (ii).
Adoption or Implementation Plan requirements:
Implementation, workforce training, and compliance activities are critical steps following the adoption of a qualifying building energy code. There are often a mix of entities and jurisdictions responsible for the successful implementation of a newly adopted building energy code and in determining compliance with that code. During the project, Grantees will be required to develop and submit an Implementation Plan that includes a description of active training and enforcement programs, as well as a plan to track and measure the rate of compliance each year in order to reach full compliance with any new building energy code supported under this award.
Further detail on milestone and funding structure around the Implementation Plan is provided in Table 2 in Part III, Section D(ii) below.
At minimum, the Implementation Plan must include the following:
- Identification of authority
- Process to determine compliance
- Workforce development
