ZERO CODE ENERGY CALCULATORS

The Zero Code Renewable Energy Procurement Framework is supported by Energy Calculators that ease the implementation process and reduce errors when applying the prescriptive compliance path of the referenced energy efficiency standard (ASHRAE 90.1-2016, ASHRAE 90.1-2019, IECC 2021, and the 2019 California Building Energy Efficiency Standards are currently incorporated into the Energy Calculators).

An Application Program Interface (API) for the national and international Zero Code Energy Calculator has been developed so that users can interact in a programmatic way with the software, enabling its implementation as a website or application for smartphones and tablets. Ultimately this approach will save years and valuable resources that would otherwise be spent on developing new compliance tools and mechanisms.
