We are excited to announce new capabilities have been added to the Explorer's Policy Options page. The Policy Options page is where you can find template policies, designed by the Reach Codes team, already set up for your jurisdiction! This page has been refreshed to now also provide policy impact previews, based on the default settings of each template policy option.
Have questions about a certain impact estimate? Hover over the number for a brief explanation on impacts of interest. Longer explanations are on the way as well, and will be accessible from the i icon next to the impact estimate of interest.
Additionally, policy options for new construction and existing buildings are now all on the same page, to make for easy comparison and evaluation of your options. If you aren't interested in one type of construction, collapse that category by clicking the Λ next to that construction type.
After reviewing the policy options provided, select one to customize - you will be prompted to name your policy, and then can review and edit your policy's requirements, and key assumptions underlying your policy that determine its impact estimates.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, you can email us at explorer@localenergycodes.com or schedule a walkthrough. We hope you enjoy using the new policy options impact previews!
