It provides a comprehensive set of standards and requirements aimed at improving energy efficiency in new building construction. The code serves as a foundational document for local and state governments in developing their own energy regulations.

The 1995 Model Energy Code represents a significant step in standardizing energy efficiency requirements across the United States. Its adoption by various jurisdictions has influenced building practices and contributed to reduced energy consumption in the built environment. The code is primarily referenced by building professionals, code officials, and policymakers.
