Code Adoption and Implementation Plan
DOE INSTRUCTIONS
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).
At minimum, the Implementation Plan must include the following:
- Identification of authority
- Process to determine compliance
- Evaluation of Compliance
- Workforce development
