Now that it has been approved and published by the Board of Building Regulations and Standards (BBRS), the stretch code has been incorporated into the Massachusetts building code as optional appendix 120.AA. Towns and cities in Massachusetts are able to choose to remain on the base energy code, or to adopt the stretch energy code as their mandatory energy code requirement. A municipality would remain on the base energy code unless and until they adopt the stretch code through their appropriate public process.
