This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) program CFDA 81.117 (Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Information Dissemination, Outreach, Training and Technical Analysis/Assistance) provides $2,600,000 to Newport Partners LLC to enable state and local jurisdictions to adopt and implement advanced energy codes and building performance standards. The key objectives are to develop tools and resources that remove barriers to compliance and enforcement, evaluate them in select jurisdictions, and create a comprehensive toolkit and lessons learned for broader adoption. Expected outcomes include implementation of advanced codes beyond the 2021 IECC, tools and resources to support code and standards implementation in Maryland and New York, and workforce development models in disadvantaged communities. This award aims to establish replicable strategies for other states and localities to achieve critical building decarbonization goals.
