NFPA 900 PDF

Take the lead in building energy conservation and help maximize efficiency with NFPA 900.

It is increasingly critical that buildings meet consensus criteria and regulations for energy efficiency. NFPA 900, Building Energy Code, offers complete requirements for energy conservation in the built environment. The code incorporates the technical provisions of ASHRAE 90.1, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, and ASHRAE 90.2, Energy Efficient Design of Low-Rise Residential Buildings, to provide general provisions for building design, construction, and maintenance.

NFPA 900 answers the need for a stand-alone building energy code, complete with administrative procedures and appropriate annexes, table of contents, definitions, references, index, and other information developed through the NFPA process. This ANSI-accredited document is your guide to manage energy use by improving conservation and reducing costs by complying with minimum energy-efficient requirements for the following:

• Design, construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, demolition, removal, inspection, issuance and revocation of permits or licenses, and installation of equipment applicable to energy conservation in all buildings, structures, and related equipment
• Energy efficiency in existing buildings under rehabilitation and maintenance of construction
• Provisions for materials to be used in connection with activities specified in the code
