The purpose of the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) is to provide minimum requirements for energy-efficient design and construction of buildings and their systems. An ECBC User Guide has been developed to provide detailed guidance to building owners, designers, engineers, builders, energy consultants and others on how to comply with the code. It provides expanded interpretation, examples and supplementary information to assist in applying ECBC during the design and construction of new buildings as well as additions and alterations of existing buildings.
