Leading Organization: MEIDECC develops energy components of codes, the MOI implements, and the attorney general s office approves permits. Modeled Impact: 1,100 metric tonnes CO2e. orienting windows to optimize passive ventilation, Strategic shading insulating building shells if air conditioning is to be installed reviewing building codes provides an opportunity to ensure that new construction is well-engineered to withstand the worsening effects of tropical cyclones.
Leading Organization: MET Modeled Impact: 600 metric tonnes CO2e, with several secondary effects (identifying other EE options). 10,100 metric tonnes CO2e possible through: creating an EE public awareness campaign focusing on both the environmental and socio-economics introducing a program that is easy to understand and educating customers as part of a broader EE public awareness campaign is critical.
