Senior Seminar
Three Points Planning is currently working with the Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance (SEEA) to provide technical support on research and development of energy code resources and provide technical review of DOE Energy Code Field Study data collection.
Three Points Planning is part of the IMT team for the Commercial Energy Building Code Field Study evaluating projects in Climate Zone 2. The study will establish a cost-effective, replicable methodology to assess the energy impact of code compliance. The study will uncover costs, barriers, and accuracy of various data collection methods and common issues with energy code compliance. Finally, it will create education and training strategies to address and overcome compliance issues. See https://www.energy.gov/eere/buildings/downloads/commercial-field-study for more information.
