State ActionSheet 4 (SAS 4)Program EvaluationThis action sheet provides state agencies a concise setof directions for evaluation of statewide compliance tothe energy codes.Evaluation is one of the most critical componentsto ensuring continued improvement in energy codecompliance.If you do not have a consistentprogram for evaluation ofstatewide compliance, youwill not know where codemeasures are implementedsuccessfully and wheremeasure and processimprovements are needed.An evaluation of compliance requires the availabilityof individuals or entities to gather relevant informationconcerning compliance. There are a number ofapproaches that may be used for determiningcompliance, but we suggest that the best approachis one that is a partnership of the state and codeenforcingjurisdictions. Here is the process.2. Perhaps the best outcome, one that you cansteer the collaborative toward, would be forenforcing jurisdictions to utilize the plan reviewand inspection checklists for plan submittals andbuilding inspections. The jurisdiction would thenupload each building into the Score+Store onlinedatabase: https://energycode.pnl.gov/ScoreStore/login.a. At the very least, you want the larger statewidejurisdictions using the BECP checklists anduploading data.b. BECP is currently incorporating theScore+Store checklist into REScheck andCOMcheck. This means that the software willcreate the very checklists that are needed forshowing energy code compliance.c. Remember, code-adopting jurisdictions haveresponsibilities under ARRA (see State ActionSheet 3 or Jurisdiction Action Sheet 2 for moreinformation).3. BECP can provide the state agency online accessto all jurisdictional submitted data. Anonymity isprovided to the individual jurisdictions. The stateagency can choose to review the data quarterlyor twice yearly as a means of determiningcompliance and as a method of assessing whereassistance and training are necessary.4. Compile compliance data at least once each yearand report progress to DOE.1. Make sure to form a statewide energy codecollaborative (see State Action Sheet 2 fordetails). One of the first areas of collaborativefocus can be the issue of compliance – how doyou measure, who needs to be involved, when willyou begin, and how will you know when you getthere? These questions should be discussed withthe collaborative with a statewide complianceevaluation process as the outcome.24COMPLIANCE IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION (CIE) GUIDE
State ActionSheet 5 (SAS 5)Rating a Building forComplianceStep 1: Using BECP’s Compliance Checklistso 1. Read State Action Sheet 3 for informationregarding a jurisdiction’s responsibility for showingcompliance. If you feel that city and countyjurisdictions share responsibility for compliancedocumentation, work with them to provideguidance and expectations as well as education.o 2. Download compliance checklists at: http://www.energycodes.gov/compliance/evaluation/checklists.o 3. To better understand the state role in statewide90% compliance sampling, go to the BECP websiteand generate a residential and commercial samplefor your state and counties: https://energycode.pnl.gov/SampleGen.Don’t waste your staff’svaluable time sorting throughpaper checklists to determinecompliance. Instead, enter rawdata into BECP’s Score+Storetool at https://energycode.pnl.gov/ScoreStore/login.Step 2: DOE’s Score+Store toolOnce you have gathered raw compliance data, thequestion becomes: how should this information beanalyzed and used? At this stage, data for individualbuildings and populations come together to generatean overall state compliance metric. States may useBECP’s Score+Store tool. While overall compliance canbe determined manually for individual buildings andgroups of renovations, this tool provides automatedbuilding scores and statewide consolidation of data.Individual building scores will remain confidential,but this effort will shed valuable light on nationwidecompliance.COMPLIANCE IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION (CIE) GUIDE25
