Energy Considerations Checklist

The Durham Energy Committee and the Durham Planning Board developed this checklist to encourage developers, applicants for Site Plan or Subdivision review, applicants for building permits, and Planning Board members to systematically consider the energy efficiency of Durham’s new or renovated buildings and sites that are being developed or subdivided. Early discussion of such mandatory (where required under specific Town, State, or Federal standards) or optional energy efficiency measures may result in both energy and cost savings. For information on available funding energy efficiency improvements, see www.nhsaves.com. Completion of this checklist and a meeting with the Building Inspector and a representative of the Durham Energy Committee is required prior to any Planning Board site plan or subdivision approval.
