As part of Rutgers Center for Green Building’s (RCGB) work with the USDOE-funded Energy Efficient Buildings Hub Project (EEB Hub), Rutgers is serving as the leader for the Codes and Standards subtask. The primary objectives of Subtask 6.2 are to assess regional codes and standards policy barriers to Advanced Energy Retrofits (AERs), and to develop and demonstrate strategies for overcoming them. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and others have provided best practices for implementing energy efficiency measures through building codes. The American Planning Association (APA) has provided extensive guidance on how to use planning and zoning codes to achieve energy efficiency in multiple sectors. However, these efforts have been made in isolation of each other rather than providing integrated approaches.
