Since 1997, the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) has supported energy code activities in the Northwest states through the Codes and Standards Support Project, principally by funding staff positions or organizations responsible for code adoption and education. This second Market Progress Evaluation Report (MPER #2) documents the progress made toward key objectives of NEEA’s Codes and Standard Support Project from 2005 to 2007. This MPER also reviews the project’s challenges and provides recommendations for future project implementation.
Between 2005 and 2009, NEEA fielded three MPERs evaluating the alliance’s Market Transformation efforts related to energy codes and standards, with the subsequent code-related MPER completed in 2017. Due to the period of time elapsed between this and earlier studies, the 2017 MPER was labeled as “MPER #1” at the time of its publication, with this numbering continuing with the recently completed MPER #2 published in 2024. NEEA has subsequently elected to consolidate all code-related MPERs completed to date under a consistent numbering scheme; code-related MPERs available on neea.org will be renumbered accordingly.
