Summary

The aim of this paper, which is part of the IEA work for the G8 Gleneagles Plan of Action, is to describe and analyse current approaches to encourage energy efficiency in building codes for new buildings. Based on this analysis, the paper enumerates policy recommendations for enhancing how energy efficiency is addressed in building codes and other policies for new buildings. These recommendations reflect the study of different policy options for increasing energy efficiency in new buildings and examination of other energy efficiency requirements in standards or building codes, such as energy efficiency requirements by major renovation or refurbishment.
