Abstract

If greenhouse gas emissions from the building sector are to be significantly reduced, all new buildings must be built to zero-energy standards. Mandatory dynamic building energy codes integrated into long-term strategies are necessary if these standards are to be met. This chapter presents a set of specially developed criteria that define the state of the art in building energy codes. These criteria form the basis of an interactive tool that facilitates the comparative analysis of 25 best practice building energy codes. This tool supports policy makers to develop more ambitious policies by outlining how current best practices may be improved to become state of the art.
