The Department of Energy (DOE) issued a request for information (RFI) seeking public input on the design of a future funding opportunity to support the development, adoption and implementation of model building energy codes for residential and commercial buildings throughout the U.S., pursuant to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The IRA appropriated $1 billion to support the implementation of model energy codes and zero energy building codes by state and local governments, in addition to $225 million appropriated for similar purposes through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The deadline to respond to the RFI is April 26. DOE has scheduled a webinar for 11 a.m. PT on April 18 about the RFI and associated activities. Register here.
