- California Energy Commission - The California Energy Commission is California’s primary energy policy and planning agency. Created in 1974 and headquartered in Sacramento, the Commission has responsibility for activities that include forecasting future energy needs, promoting energy efficiency through appliance and building standards, and supporting renewable energy technologies.
- Green building - Green building is the practice of increasing the efficiency of buildings and their use of energy, water, and materials, and reducing building impacts on human health and the environment, through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal — the complete building life cycle.
- Weatherization - Weatherization (American English) or weatherproofing (British English) is the practice of protecting a building and its interior from the elements, particularly from sunlight, precipitation, and wind, and of modifying a building to reduce energy consumption and optimize energy efficiency. A house with no weatherization is virtually uninhabitable.
- BASIX - BASIX or Building Sustainability Index is a scheme introduced by the government of New South Wales, Australia to regulate the energy efficiency of new buildings.
- Pennyland project - The Pennyland project was a scientifically controlled experiment on an estate of 177 houses in the Pennyland district of Milton Keynes, United Kingdom, to compare UK and Danish building energy efficiency standards.
