Overview
We are expanding our services to help communities improve building code compliance and adoption. Our program offers guidance, resources, and support throughout the energy code process. Communities set their own goals, and Xcel Energy helps them achieve them.
Who it Benefits:
The program supports builders, architects, code officials, plan examiners, and others seeking education and training on current codes. We do not advocate for code advancements and are not tied to any specific fuel source. Xcel Energy collaborates with communities in its service area to provide the resources that best meet their needs.
Why it Matters:
Energy codes update every three years. As communities adopt these updates, the building industry must stay informed on new requirements.
Benefits of energy building codes:
- Higher build quality
- Increased resilience against temperature and fuel price shocks
- Safer and healthier homes
- Better energy efficiency
What We Offer
- Free, customized training to support energy code compliance in Texas communities.
- Technical tools for communities modernizing their building codes.
- Assistance navigating new laws. Xcel Energy is committed to help your community adapt to these changes with the information and support you need.
