Energy Code Compliance Programs

CSG designs and delivers energy code compliance programs that capture big energy savings by closing the gaps between energy code requirements and common construction practice.

These programs offer training and technical assistance for energy code officials, design professionals, builders, and subcontractors. We also develop documentation tools to support code compliance.

Importance of training on energy codes

CSG’s careful planning and delivery combines our building science expertise with real-world experience. This allows us to create engaging trainings for residential and commercial code topics. Training is offered in classroom settings, in-field, and online.

The Institute for Market Transformation estimates that every dollar spent on code compliance and enforcement returns six dollars in energy savings, a 600 percent return on investment.
