Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code in Downtown Boston

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. Downtown Boston projects must meet air-tightness targets confirmed by blower door testing and duct leakage testing — critical for large multifamily towers and adaptive-reuse conversions alike. We provide all documentation required by the City of Boston Inspectional Services Department.
