Energy Code Compliance Checklist

This task involves preparing and reviewing the project plan to ensure compliance with energy codes. Consider the project's scope, timeline, and budget in order to create a comprehensive plan. What potential challenges can you anticipate and how can you address them? Ensure that all necessary resources and tools are available for successful execution of the plan.

In this task, you will perform energy usage calculations for the building. Use appropriate formulas and methods to determine energy consumption and potential savings. How will accurate energy calculations contribute to compliance and overall energy efficiency? Ensure all required data is collected before beginning calculations.

This task involves examining the building design for energy efficiency. Consider the orientation, insulation, glazing, and thermal envelopes in your assessment. How can an energy-efficient building design contribute to compliance and overall energy savings? Identify any design flaws or areas for improvement.

In this task, you will assess equipment and systems within the building for energy consumption. This includes HVAC systems, lighting systems, and other appliances. How will assessing these systems contribute to compliance and energy efficiency? Identify any outdated or inefficient equipment that may need to be replaced.

In this task, you will collect projected energy consumption data for the building. This may involve reviewing previous energy bills, conducting surveys, or using energy modeling software. How will collecting this data contribute to compliance and energy efficiency? Ensure all necessary data sources are accessed.

This task involves applying the relevant local, state, and federal energy codes to ensure compliance. Familiarize yourself with the specific codes and regulations that apply to the project. How will compliance with these codes contribute to overall energy efficiency? Identify potential conflicts or challenges between different code requirements.

In this task, you will review and rate the building's current insulation. Assess the insulation materials used and their condition. How will reviewing and rating the insulation contribute to compliance and energy efficiency? Identify any areas where insulation improvement is needed.
