RESNET Task Force on Code Performance
RESNET has formed a task force on code performance to review the
barriers to effective code compliance and develop recommendations. The
task force will also review the role that market transformation and
building performance efforts can play in effective code implementation.
The task force is composed of representatives of state energy offices,
accredited home energy rating providers, and other building performance
professionals. The first meeting took place in conjunction with the
2001 RESNET Conference. Participants at the conference identified the
following priority action items for the task force:
- Develop model legislation for state and local governments to
incorporate performance testing such as home energy ratings as an
optional code compliance tool.
- Serve as an information source to state energy offices and the
HERS® industry on proposed changes to the International Energy
Conservation Code that aligns the code with the home energy rating
technical guidelines.
- Undertake an educational program for raters to demonstrate the
added value that they can provide by assisting builders with energy
codes compliance.
- Develop a white paper for incoming U.S. Department of Energy
Officials on the linkage between effective code implementation and
market-driven programs.
