New Practice for Measuring Energy Efficiency and Emissions in Use of Residential Buildings
1. Scope
Standard of Practice for Site Specific Assessments with respect to energy efficiency and carbon emissions associated with and/or produced in the operational use of residential buildings.
Industry lacks a practical standard to enable householders and stakeholders to measure and understand the carbon footprint associated with the operational use of buildings. Existing standards do not address needs for residential buildings in ways that connect to energy (electricity and fuel), efficiency, and emissions of residential buildings.
