Massachusetts Stretch and Specialized Codes

This panel will discuss the Massachusetts Stretch and Specialized Codes, including key provisions such as thermal bridge accounting and mitigation, thermal energy demand intensity (TEDI), ventilation energy recovery, and efficient electrification. We’ll also provide an update on which communities have adopted the Specialized Code. Paul Ormond and Joanne Bissetta (Department of Energy Resources) will kick off the discussion from the state perspective, followed by experts Christopher Grey (Simpson Gumpertz & Heger) who will discuss thermal bridging and Olivia Brady (Karpman Associates) who will discuss thermal energy demand.
