Over the past thirty-plus years, the Pacific Northwest has successfully pursued state residential energy codes and building programs to create ever more efficient housing. Since its inception, NEEA has played a pivotal role in aiding states to deliver more effective and efficient energy codes. Under the Residential Codes – Energy Use Savings contract to NEEA, Ecotope quantified the energy use, energy savings, and incremental costs for a number of energy codes and efficient housing initiatives throughout the Northwest.
