Calling all Stakeholders: EESCC Inventory Submissions Welcome

As part of its ongoing efforts to assess the energy efficiency standardization landscape and carry out the development of a standardization roadmap for energy efficiency within the built environment, the ANSI Energy Efficiency Standardization Coordination Collaborative (EESCC) is soliciting input regarding relevant standards, codes, guidelines, and conformance programs that are available or under development, and what perceived gaps in energy efficiency standardization and conformance activities currently exist. The EESCC invites all stakeholders to provide relevant input via the online entry forms.
Please note: Submitting an entry does not guarantee inclusion in the EESCC standardization roadmap. All entries are subject to review by the EESCC and its working groups to determine whether they are within scope.

	Entry form: Documents (Standards, Codes, Guidelines, and Regulations)
	Entry form: Conformance Programs and Rating and Labeling Systems (i.e., Certificate and Training programs, Personnel Certification programs, Accreditation programs, Rating and Labeling Systems)
	Entry form: Potential Gaps in the Standardization Landscape
	View the EESCC Inventory Database

The ANSI Energy Efficiency Standardization Coordination Collaborative (EESCC) is a cross-sector, neutral forum and focal point for broad-based coordination among energy efficiency activities involving or impacted by standardization (i.e., standards, codes, conformance activities) and regulations. The objective of the collaborative is to assess the energy efficiency standardization landscape, and carry out the development of an EESCC standardization roadmap and compendium.

The standardization roadmap is intended to identify what standards, codes, and conformance programs are available or under development, what gaps exist, and what additional standardization activities are needed to advance energy efficiency in the United States; and to increase awareness of these activities to support the adoption and implementation of standards, codes, and conformance activities among the public and private sectors.

EESCC at a Glance

Phase One of the EESCC standardization roadmap will focus on five identified areas of need, to be addressed by a working group for each area:

	WG1: Building energy and water assessment and performance standards (including diagnostic test procedures and health and safety testing)
	WG2: Systems integration and systems communications (encompasses communications between building automation/operation systems and equipment/appliances, within single buildings, as well as the communications between buildings (i.e., facilities and campuses))
	WG3: Building energy modeling, rating, and labeling (includes whole building modeling from design to construction, as well as rating and labeling for energy performance)
	WG4: Evaluation, measurement, and verification (encompassing EM&V; energy performance metrics; and standardized and portable data collection and reporting)
	WG5: Workforce credentialing (including standards for workforce training and certification programs, and workforce skills standards)

The EESCC is not intended in any way to displace or duplicate work that is being done, but rather to augment and raise awareness of individual activities being advanced by many prominent organizations with the objective of moving energy efficiency forward. The EESCC will not develop standards, nor will it assign responsibility for their development.

Participation in the EESCC is open to all affected parties. The collaborative is funded via modest, tier-based participation fees, as specified in the participation information document linked below.

Note: the participation fee covers an unlimited number of participants from an organization on any of the EESCC working groups.
