Energy Code Solutions for Metal Buildings
North Star Steel Buildings has assembled a dedicated team of energy experts equipped with the knowledge and tools to help you navigate the increasingly complex energy regulations.
The two most common energy codes used to outline minimum requirements for energy-efficient low-rise construction are ASHRAE 90.1 and IECC. These two entities address energy conservation requirements for commercial and residential construction – including heating & ventilation, lighting, water heating, and power usage. However, many states choosing to update their regulations and adhere to newer, more rigorous codes.
