This session presents four perspectives on the current status of code-related activities in North America (Canada, United States and Mexico), and provides an opportunity for a discussion of trends and opportunities for ASHRAE and ASHRAE members. Efficient buildings save money and protect the environment, and as a result, building codes are attracting attention as low-cost, high-impact tools. However, political realities and on-the-ground compliance constraints continue to hamper progress toward greater building efficiency in some jurisdictions. This session updates members on the current status of building codes in North America, and the policy context that will affect building efficiency improvements.
