REVISED PUBLICATION
The Performance Path to Energy Code Compliance
Navigating today’s energy codes presents a unique challenge for builders and home energy raters. Achieving compliance while balancing cost and structural requirements can be difficult. This publication, recently updated to include the 2024 IECC, explains the benefits of following the performance path instead of prescriptive tables. Performance paths evaluate the energy efficiency of an entire home as a system, allowing builders to exchange high-cost assemblies for cost-effective alternatives while still meeting IECC requirements.
