Who this typically touches

Business types a matter in this class typically reaches. Our inference from the class, not the record's words; a specific organization is named on these pages only when the record itself names it.

Likely to gain: energy raters and code consultants (a stretch code adoption creates compliance and verification work).

Likely affected: builders and envelope subcontractors (the adopted code sets insulation, air sealing and testing obligations).

Worth watching: code officials and their training providers (enforcement capacity is decided alongside adoption).
