Purpose of the Workshop

The Energy Efficiency Committee issued a "Notice of Conclusions on Maximum Scope of the 2005 Building Energy Efficiency Standards" on January 18, 2002.

At the May 30, 2002 workshop, the Commission staff will obtain public comment on reports of the second group of the Committee-selected measures. The reports include information on measure cost, performance and implications, energy use analysis and modeling, life cycle cost effectiveness results, and draft Standards requirements.
