Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code in Beacon Hill

Boston has adopted the Specialized Opt-in Stretch Energy Code (225 CMR Ch. 22), which builds on IECC 2021 and requires new residential construction and major renovations to be verified by a certified HERS rater. Beacon Hill projects must meet air-tightness targets confirmed by blower door testing and duct leakage testing — work that demands care inside the neighborhood’s masonry party-wall rowhouses. We provide all documentation required by the City of Boston Inspectional Services Department.
