States Face Deadline to Meet Requirements of ASHRAE 90.1
States have less than three months remaining to certify to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that their building codes meet the requirements in ASHRAE's 1999 energy conservation standard.
ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-1999, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, was established by the DOE as the commercial building reference standard for state building energy codes under the Federal Energy Policy Act.
