The Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct, Public Law 102-486) establishes the 1992 Model Energy Code (MEC), published by the Council of American Building Officials (CABO), as the target for several energy-related requirements for residential buildings (CABO 1992). The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (via Rural Economic and Community Development [RECD] [formerly Farmers Home Administration]) are required to establish standards for government-assisted housing that 'meet or exceed the requirements of the Council of American Building Officials Model Energy Code, 1992.' CABO issued 1992, 1993, and 1995 editions of the MEC (CABO 1992, 1993, and 1995).
