Project
The New Buildings Institute works with governments, utilities, manufacturers, building professionals, and community-based organizations to develop policies, strategies, and best practices that eliminate emissions from buildings and infrastructure. This grant supports its Local and Model Code Decarbonization project, which will enable advancements in building codes on two strategic fronts: in state and city building codes, as well as through broader model codes such as the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to encourage meaningful efficiency gains and carbon emission reductions nationally.
