Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code in South End

Boston has adopted the Specialized Opt-in Stretch Energy Code (225 CMR Ch. 22), built on IECC 2021, requiring new construction and major renovations to be verified by a certified HERS rater. South End projects must meet air-tightness targets confirmed by blower door testing and duct leakage testing — detailed work inside the district’s tall, party-wall Victorian rowhouses. We provide all documentation required by the City of Boston Inspectional Services Department.
