The U.S. Department of Energy’s Building Energy Codes Program supports increased energy efficiency in America’s residential and commercial buildings by helping to advance building energy codes. BECP coordinates with other government agencies, state and local jurisdictions, national code organizations, and industry to promote stronger building energy codes and help states adopt, implement, and enforce those codes. Established in 1991, BECP is part of DOE’s (Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy ) Building Technologies family of programs. ==Program Drivers: Less Energy. Less Cost. Less Carbon== Residential and commercial buildings use about 40% of energy in the United States,〔Energy Information Administration, Annual Energy Review 2007, (Figure 2.1a, Energy Consumption by Sector Overview ), p.74.〕 making them significant contributors to the energy problem. Building energy codes are a critical part of the energy solution. BECP’s work to improve the energy efficiency of the nation’s buildings results in: *''Less energy'' consumed by America’s buildings *''Less cost'' for consumers *''Less carbon'' added to the environment. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Building Energy Codes Program」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
