The College Station Residential Energy Compliance Code
Abstract
The City of College Station, Texas adopted a
new residential Energy Compliance Code in January,
1988. The code, which strengthens compliance
requirements in several areas, has received broadly
based support and acceptance from all major
constituent groups. It is less than one-fourth the
length of the code it replaced, and compliance is
greatly simplified through use of a check-list
compliance path supplemented by point system and
energy analysis paths. Results of air leakage
measurements used to justify the stronger
infiltration requirements of the code are reported.
The process used to develop consensus support and
key features of the code are described.
