Kelly Seeger and Cori Jackson Author Article on Outcome Based Code in LD+A
Outcome-based energy codes are relatively new. They incorporate strategies that quantify a building’s actual energy performance over time to demonstrate code compliance. The term “outcome-based” refers to the fact that compliance is linked with a building’s actual energy “outcome,” or energy use, which may be measured post-occupancy. CEA President and Board Chair Cori Jackson and Board Member Kelly Seeger address this timely topic in the May 2021 issue of LD+A, the magazine of CEA member Illuminating Engineering Society.
