Compliance in retrofitting is perpetually evolving, requiring careful attention to changes to local, state and federal – and international – codes, standards and mandates. This panel of regulatory experts will discuss the regulatory landscape for retrofitting projects, detail the key changes to codes and standards that govern compliance, and share how the retrofit community can shape future policy decisions.

•    Understanding compliance standards - review of the major standards that retrofitting projects must meet, including energy efficiency, emissions reductions, safety regulations, and social benefits
•    Who sets standards - discussion on the key governmental and non-governmental organizations, including their priorities (and political pressures), that develop and enforce compliance standards in the retrofitting industry, including international energy sustainability mandates
•    Future outlook on technical standards – understand how emerging technologies and design trends are impacting future compliance requirements
•    Influencing policymakers - discover ways the retrofit community can engage with policymakers to advocate for more practical, supportive regulations
