IES Software Approved for Minnesota SB 2030 Energy Standard
To meet the standard, projects must use whole building energy simulation
GLASGOW, United Kingdom — Integrated Environmental Solutions (IES) announced that its IES Virtual Environment (IESVE) software has been officially approved for compliance with the state of Minnesota’s Sustainable Building 2030 (SB 2030) Energy Standard.
The standard requires all Minnesota state bond-funded projects built after 2015 to be 70 percent more energy efficient than an average building. Based on the Architecture 2030 challenge, the goal is for all projects to reach net-zero by 2030.
