For those Canadian firms that are contemplating the export of housing or housing components, the Unites States is a compelling market. It is close, it is familiar, it is big and it is rich. It is also different. The United States has a wider range of climate zones and endures more extreme weather than does Canada - from the cold of the north, to the humidity and hurricanes of the south, to the heat and deserts of the southwest. In addition to the environmental challenges, there are code and regulatory issues for Canadians. There are five, major, building code models in active use across the U.S. at this time. In addition, there are a number of codes developed by individual states or by major cities. Also, each state and municipality may apply additional regulations and approval requirements to the adopted model code. So an exporter who wishes to market to more than a single state may have to meet the requirements of more than one code and each state's individual regulations and approvals may differ in detail even if they use the same code. Further, each building code of itself is a large and complex document and a considerable effort is required to investigate and determine how the design and assembly of a house or a housing component may be required to adapt for compliance. For many Canadian housing manufacturers this neighbour to the south remains an uncertain and an unrealized market. The purpose of this study is to help Canadian manufacturers of housing products gain an understanding of U.S. building codes and regulations for housing. The main focus is the International Residential Code (IRC), which is emerging as the prevailing standard for residential construction in the U.S. This study is also intended to provide a summary of the standards and approvals that may be required for code compliance of individual housing products in the United States. This Guide is divided into six sections: Section 2 provides an overview of the different U.S. building codes and develops a rationale for focusing this work on the International Residential Code. Section 2 also provides a brief overview of some of the statistical characteristics of the U.S. housing market. Section 3 summarizes the key differences between the International Residential Code and the National Building Code of Canada. Section 3 also provides a brief summary of some of the differences between the IRC and the Uniform Building Code. Section 4 provides a review of U.S. Energy Codes (Model Energy Code and International Energy Conservation Code) and the ENERGY STAR Program. It also provides a summary of several state code requirements of efficiency and ventilation. Section 5 provides a review of the Requirements for Manufactured Housing Section 6 provides a summary of the standards and approvals that are required for selected housing products in the U.S. Section 7 provides a brief set of conclusions and lists the next steps a new exporter might take.

"The international ENERGY STAR program was developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1992. The program was designed to encourage energy-efficient practices that help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By identifying and promoting energy-saving products, the initiative helps protect the environment and lowers energy bills at the same time. The Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE) of NRCan has promoted the international ENERGY STAR symbol in Canada and monitored its use since 2001. The "ENERGY STAR® for New Homes Standard" specifies the technical requirements for a house to be an ENERGY STAR qualified home. It covers topics such as eligibility requirements, pertinent references, and terms and definitions used in the program. It also specifies the minimum requirements common to all ENERGY STAR qualified new homes, outlines the compliance options, and details the prescriptive packages, also known as the Builder Option Packages (BOPs)"--Page x, 1.

This book is an introduction to the many challenges of sustainability. The first half of the book develops a framework for sustainability thinking. The second half considers application areas and personal and corporate responses to sustainability challenges. Basic facts, figures, and information related to sustainability are presented in a way that should convey to readers a sense of scale for the many sustainability challenges we face. Throughout, the end-of-chapter projects and discussion questions focus on tradeoffs among competing goods and the ethical and social implications of decisions related to sustainability. This book was written for a university seminar course on sustainability but could be used in other small-group discussion settings. It is intended to be easy to read but hard to digest.
