https://southeastfloridaclimatecompact.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Benchmarking-Policies-for-Existing-Buildings-Experiences-in-Atlanta.pdfThe Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, in partnership with the Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance, hosted a Regional Climate Action Plan Implementation Workshop on Building Codes for Climate Resilience on March 14, 2019 in North Miami.

The workshop focused on how local governments can play a role in building code development and how to advance local resiliency and energy efficiency goals through increased code compliance, local incentives, and other tools. The workshop also examined strategies and resources to increase efficiency and resilience in existing buildings not required to meet the current code requirements.

Workshop participants left this workshop with:

  • Awareness of how national model building codes are developed and the role local governments can play
  • Knowledge of code compliance best practices, challenges, and opportunities for local building departments
  • Research, technical assistance, and education resources available to local governments
  • A greater understanding of opportunities within local jurisdictions to set localized provisions that can advance energy efficiency and resilience goals
