Building and Energy Code Trainings
Building codes provide standards for building construction and maintenance throughout the state that promote safety, public health, efficiency, and more. In particular, energy codes establish standards for energy efficiency, embodied carbon, beneficial electrification, weatherization, and more. There will be a series of virtual and in-person energy code trainings offered throughout 2025 as Maine transitions from 2015 to 2021 building and energy codes. For more information on building codes, visit this page.
Upcoming webinar: There will be a public webinar on the new codes on Wednesday, May 21 from 12-1pm. High-level information about the codes will be provided along with time for audience Q&A. This is a great opportunity for residents, businesses, and municipal officials to learn more about the new codes and how to prepare for them. Registration link
