REPORT PROMOTES STRONGER CODES FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Lydia DePillis, E&ENews PM reporter, reports the United States could slash energy consumption by investing in green design incentives and adopting building standards aimed at increasing energy efficiency, according to a report released today by an advocacy group.

The Environment America report focuses on standards developed by the Energy Efficient Codes Council for residential buildings and by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers for commercial buildings. Those standard-setting bodies are aiming for 30 percent more efficiency for 2009 and 2010, respectively. By 2030, the report says, 'political leaders should set the goal for all new buildings to be zero net energy.'
