Building Energy & Environmental Policy

CEA has set ambitious goals to improve the built environment and understands that in order to reach these goals there may need to be changes to current and future policies. CEA will focus on working with federal, state, and local representatives to identify and take the necessary steps to develop legislation, regulations, and ordinances that help achieve our Vision. This Pillar is critical to opening the door for new strategies and technologies to be incorporated in codes and standards development.

Codes & Standards Evolution

Improving and advancing building codes and standards affect market transformation necessary to accelerate advanced energy technologies’ adoption through back-stopping the more innovative CEA Initiatives pertaining to early commercialized technologies which promote grid-integrated efficient buildings. This Pillar allows for CEA stakeholders to collaborate and develop a collective voice on evolving building codes and standards as well as improving the compliance and enforcement mechanisms in place to achieve the state’s climate change goals.

Government & Industry Engagement

Outreach and engagement with government and industry stakeholders is crucial in bridging the gap between the people writing and enforcing policies with the people implementing and complying with them. This Pillar focuses on creating a feedback loop between what’s happening in the field with what was expected from policy. CEA is in a unique position to provide a space for government and industry to collaborate, learn, and share opportunities for achieving each other’s energy and environmental goals.

Education & Outreach

Education, training, and outreach are fundamental to supporting the requisite market transformation necessary to accelerate advanced energy technologies’ adoption, supporting building codes and standards improvement, and effectively engaging government and industry stakeholders to support CEA’s mission. CEA will work to assist and provide recommendations for the continued development and use of a skilled, trained, and certified workforce. Absent this Pillar, CEA would be hamstrung in advancing its stated Mission and the interests of its Members.
