Commercial Code
Mandatory commercial building codes require a minimum level of energy efficiency for new commercial buildings. The Department of Energy estimates that between 1992 and 2012, commercial codes resulted in cumulative energy savings of 2.8 quads. They project that an additional 24.5 quads will be saved through 2040 due to residential building energy codes.
