| Building Codes and Policy | MEEA is one of the Regional Energy Efficiency Organizations (REEOs) working in a 14-state (AK, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MI, MN, MO, NE, ND, OH, SD and WI) region. As a collaborative network, MEEA promotes energy efficiency first to optimize energy generation, reduce consumption, create jobs and decrease carbon emissions in all Midwest communities. MEEA’s vision is an achievable pathway for all people and communities in the Midwest to receive the economic, environmental and societal benefits of energy efficiency and the larger clean energy economy.
Specifically, MEEA works to improve building energy efficiency by advancing and supporting building policy development, adoption, implementation and compliance. Policies can include, but are not limited to, energy codes, benchmarking ordinances, building performance standards, tax abatement programs and time-of-sale/rent disclosures. The organization also researches and works on market transformation strategies and works with stakeholder groups to improve energy code compliance for new residential and commercial buildings. At MEEA, we leverage our expertise to be the Midwest’s leading resource for our 160+ members, allies, policymakers and the broader sector to promote energy efficiency as the essential pathway to achieve a clean, affordable, equitable and sustainable future. MEEA develops connections and engagement opportunities for a diverse group of organizations to collaboratively create practical solutions. MEEA serves as a technical resource and promotes program and policy best practices and highlights emerging technologies, all to maximize energy savings, reduce costs, improve resiliency and lower energy burden. |

| Providing Education to Accelerate Building Codes Adoption, Compliance, and Enforcement | Energy Code Training
The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) is uniquely qualified to serve as a partner that helps accelerate building code adoption and compliance.
Our expertise includes the following:
Code compliance training on fenestration.
Setting performance requirements for fenestration.
Fenestration performance for HVAC load calculations
Using the NFRC label and label certificate to determine fenestration code compliance.
Educating the design-build community to serve as influencers to drive more consistent and widespread code compliance.
NFRC has educated hundreds of building code officials on the above topics via live presentations at the International Code Council’s (ICC) annual educational conference, known as EduCode. Similarly, NFRC has underscored its role as a thought leader in the codes community by training building cod officials at the District of Columbia Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) Green Building Division.
We further demonstrate our commitment to helping accelerate building code adoption and compliance by publishing articles from codes leaders and our dedication to hosting monthly webinars to disseminate the latest innovative ideas from thought leaders on emerging fenestration technology and sustainability, including updates on codes developments and trends.
Moreover, NFRC conducts ongoing market research and has accumulated extensive insight into the current landscape of code adoption and compliance in the commercial fenestration sector. This invaluable knowledge empowers us to foster collaboration across the building codes community in ways that advance adoption and compliance.
As an accredited American Institute of Architects (AIA) Continuing Education Provider, NFRC is equipped to offer customized courses tailored to the specific needs of building code officials and the design-build industry. |

| Equitable Building Codes for EV Readiness | The EV Charging for All Coalition works with organizations and state and local governments throughout the US to implement equitable EV Readiness building codes. Our two guiding principles:
* Maximize equitable, affordable access to “EV Ready” (plug-and-play*) charging at home and at work;
* Minimize cost and complexity for residents, builders and property managers.
Our state-based coalitions advocate locally to strengthen existing building codes, and to advance state legislation when necessary to secure EV charging access for all. We published the nation's first 50-state EV Codes Toolkit, are we are active stakeholders in the CalGREEN, IECC and ASHRAE codes and standards development processes. We are available to advise Authorities Having Jurisdiction and building code electrification advocates on best practices for creating EV readiness codes, with a particular focus on equitable outcomes for residents of multi-family housing. |

| | New Buildings Institute (NBI) holds a deep level of expertise in developing research-based building science and technical information necessary to drive energy efficiency strategies that work. In addition to working directly with policymakers, utility program implementers, and efficiency industry advocates, we make our information on best practice approaches available to the building community through training events, white papers, design guides, open-source tools, and resources. The high-performance building strategies researched and promoted by NBI have been vetted with extensive cost analysis over the years, and NBI has accumulated a wealth of information about costs and benefits of energy-saving measures in buildings. For 25+ years, this information has been used by designers, utilities, regulators, and others to justify improvements in building energy performance.
Energy codes and policies continue to be a crucial lever in transforming markets for high performance buildings. NBI’s work in this program area includes strengthening model building energy codes and increasing their use and usefulness. We also develop the necessary thought leadership to overcome critical issues hindering code advancement and create the technical basis for progressive code and policy approaches, such as stretch codes and code overlays. NBI works directly with leading jurisdictions to implement and increase compliance with these advanced code and policy strategies as well as to develop code and policy roadmaps. |
