Past, Present and Future of Building Energy Codes and DOE Appliance Mandates
National, state, and even local energy codes have continued to change, requiring increasing energy conservation standards. ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers) Standard 90.1 and International Energy Conservation model energy code have been increasing the energy conservation standard every three years. The Department of Energy (DOE) has mandated energy conservation standards for residential central air conditioners and heat pumps since 1992. These codes mandates have increased over time and will continued to do so. Commercial and residential construction techniques have changed dramatically over the past 20 years. This interactive online course will review the state of current mandates and standards and describe the future requirements of the model energy codes and DOE mandates.
