The Minnesota Commercial Energy Code was introduced to boost energy efficiency and sustainability in the state’s commercial buildings. Here’s why it matters:
In adherence to the Minnesota Commercial Energy Code, these consultants are pivotal in aiding commercial building owners and developers in meeting energy efficiency requirements. Here’s how they assist with compliance:
When selecting a consultant for Minnesota Commercial Energy Code compliance, prioritise professionals with expertise in energy-efficient building design, construction, and diagnostics. Familiarity with local building codes and climate conditions ensures tailored recommendations for optimal envelope performance, meeting regulatory standards.
Air barrier testing, mandated by the Minnesota Commercial Energy Code, is crucial for enhancing energy efficiency and indoor comfort in commercial buildings. Air barriers are components of a building envelope that control airflow and help to maintain the desired indoor environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity and air quality.
Lerch Bates’s air barrier testing team will evaluate the effectiveness of a building’s air barrier system using tools such as blower doors to simulate the pressure differences that occur across the building envelope under normal operating conditions. Our consultants then benchmark your building’s data against industry standards and performance criteria to provide valuable information about the building’s energy efficiency, indoor air quality and overall performance. If air leakage is found, or your building’s performance is not up to the Minnesota Commercial Energy Code performance standards, Lerch Bates will provide design and construction solutions to enhance building performance and ensure code compliance.
Air barrier testing is essential for verifying compliance with the Minnesota Commercial Energy Code and many other energy efficiency standards. By prioritising air barrier testing, commercial building owners in Minnesota can demonstrate compliance with energy efficiency standards, reduce energy consumption, lower operating costs and improve indoor comfort for occupants.
