The following information was provided by the Building Codes Assistance Project

Below is a state-specific building energy code guide for Maine.  We trust that this will be helpful to you in planning, building, and inspecting new homes.  This building energy code guide provides an easy-to-use quick reference to the main prescriptive provisions of the current residential energy code in effect in Maine, but as we note in the disclaimer, it is not a substitute for the full energy code document.

These energy code guides have been useful to code officials, state code agencies and homebuilders as part of energy code training.  

The Building Codes Assistance Project is a joint project of the Alliance to Save Energy, the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE), and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).  As a non-profit advocacy group it provides assistance to states and jurisdictions in their efforts to improve the energy efficiency of their commercial and residential building stock through energy codes.
