BCAP's home site is undergoing revisions!

While we're working on improving the site, please visit our energy code best practice network, the Online Code Environment and Advocacy Network (OCEAN). OCEAN has everything you need to explore the world of codes!

You may notice that a page you are used to looking at is no longer available here. However, we have provided re-directs for all of our most popular pages that are now on OCEAN.

About BCAP

BCAP is a nonprofit advocacy organization established in 1994 as a joint initiative of the Alliance to Save Energy, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, and the Natural Resources Defense Council. BCAP works with a number of stakeholders-including the U.S. Department of Energy, local, state and national agencies, building professionals, regional energy efficiency groups and utilities, among others-to support energy code adoption and implementation across the country and around the world.

With over sixteen years of experience, BCAP has established itself as a trusted, non-partisan U.S. leader for energy code advocacy, research and analysis, technical support, training and code status tracking. From its national platform, BCAP facilitates increased communication and collaboration between allies, identifies and navigates past policy and structural pitfalls, and helps state and local decision-makers design strategies to improve building energy efficiency. BCAP also applies its expertise overseas, most recently in India, Ukraine and across the APEC economies.
