Bridging the Gap: From Efficient Policies to Successful, On-the-Ground Implementation

This Forum brought together local government policymakers and sustainability staff, building department staff, city planners, and energy consultants to learn about the the variety of free programs and customizable resources available to building departments interested in implementing best practices for improving energy code compliance and enforcement and/or promoting green building and "beyond code" initiatives, sometimes called "reach codes". Attendees were able to meet their BayREN County Representative, learn about implementing cost-effective green building codes, Home Energy Score and the READ Program.
