Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code in Back Bay

As part of the City of Boston, Back Bay falls under the Specialized Opt-in Stretch Energy Code — the Commonwealth’s most rigorous tier, built on IECC 2021 (climate zone 5A) with state amendments under 225 CMR Ch. 22. New construction must be verified by a certified HERS rater, with air-tightness confirmed by blower door testing and ducts verified by duct leakage testing — a real challenge in Back Bay’s landfill-built, attached masonry row houses. We prepare and submit all documentation required by the City of Boston Inspectional Services Department.
