Energy Efficiency Compliance for Commercial Building Addition or Alteration

Project details

The project requires that the building addition or alteration complies fully with the energy efficiency standards outlined in the City Code 35-41 energy tax program. An energy efficiency report confirming compliance with these requirements must be accepted. The structure must meet or exceed the Energy Star 97 standards as applicable to the 2021 Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC). It is important to note that a re-evaluation of the building's energy performance will be necessary to maintain eligibility in the energy tax program once the energy requirements are updated in the next code cycle. All documentation and certifications must be prepared and submitted accordingly to ensure continued compliance.
