White Paper Outlines Necessary Code Changes for Energy Reductions

Architecture 2030, a non-profit organization established to fight global warming, has published a white paper, “Meeting the 2030 Challenge Through Building Codes.” The 11-page paper outlines possible code changes to help the building industry and its suppliers to reduce energy consumption, along with greenhouse gas emissions, drastically by 2030.

“The 2030 Challenge code equivalents … provide a simple, practicable solution using existing building energy codes and rating systems,” reads the paper. “By amending existing codes based on these code equivalents, governments can be confident that their codes meet the initial 50 percent reduction target of the 2030 Challenge.”
