CREEBC Resources, Training, and Certification
CARICOM Regional Energy Efficiency Building Code (CREEBC)
The CARICOM Regional Energy Efficiency Building Code (CREEBC) is an adaptation of the International Energy Conservation Code®, 2018 Edition, published by the International Code Council. It is designed specifically to meet the needs of the Caribbean and other countries in a tropical environment. It establishes minimum energy efficiency requirements for buildings using prescriptive and performance-related provisions inclusive of building envelope, cooling system, ventilation, pumping, lighting and the service water-heating systems in buildings. The CARICOM Regional Organization for Standards and Quality (CROSQ) undertook the development of the CREEBC with support from the Energy for Sustainable Development Regional Project, part of the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), and administered by the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC).
The International Code Council offers numerous resources to enable jurisdictions in the Caribbean region and throughout the world to effectively implement the CREEBC.
