Energy Codes
Overview:
New Hampshire has two statewide energy codes, the Residential Energy Code and the
Commercial and Industrial Energy Code. The Governor’s Office of Energy and Community
Services (ECS) works in conjunction with the Public Utilities Commission to raise
awareness of; and increase compliance with; the state’s current energy codes. Energy
codes provide a variety of benefits to the average New Hampshire resident.
Benefits of statewide energy codes:
- Save occupants money
- Make housing more affordable
- Establish a “Level Playing Field” among contractors and builders
- Increase buying power of citizens by putting more money in their pockets
- Prevent air pollution
- Reduce reliance on foreign oil
- Reduce emissions of greenhouse gasses associated with Global Warming
Upcoming Events:
ECS along with the Public Utilities Commission and state utilities will continue to
sponsor Residential Energy Code Trainings for code officials, architects, builders, and
engineers. We will also be beginning Commercial and Industrial Energy Code Trainings in
2002.
