Stretch Energy Code
The Stretch Energy Code is an appendix to the state energy code, created by the Massachusetts Board of Building Regulations and Standards (BBRS), that provides the option for cities and towns that wish to have an energy code for buildings that results in greater energy efficiency in buildings than the base code that is otherwise mandatory for municipalities across the state.
On December 21, 2009, the City Council voted to adopt the Stretch Energy Code appendix. The higher standards for energy efficiency in building projects went into effect on July 1, 2010.
Below is background information about the stretch energy code. Many of these files are in PDF format and require use of the free Adobe Acrobat viewer.
