An easy way to find out if your project must meet any Energy Code requirements is to use our Forms Ace tool. After you enter your project information, Forms Ace will determine if any forms are required. If they are, this means your project must meet certain requirements.

In addition to building requirements, there could be energy efficiency requirements for appliances and building components used in your project, such as window or roof ratings, or approved air conditioners. Our Product Finder tool can guide you through the components affected by your project to see if you need to be aware of requirements for certified products.

Following the right sequence of activities for your project can certainly make things go more smoothly. Forms Ace is a good place to start for smaller projects.

Also, our fact sheets, which are provided for a variety of project types, can help you determine what requirements you need to meet, which compliance path to use and which compliance forms you will need to submit.
