However, the structure o the program avors energy

eciency programs unded by the CEEF over privately-

energy savings credit market is dominated by the two

electricity distribution utilities (that administer the

Lssos Lcallege: Prior to sta being hired, or the frst six

months o 1980 DPD permitted architects, engineers

and designers to demonstrate compliance using

their own proessional stamps. Ater examining plan

revisions submitted or these projects, DPD ound

many cases in which the initial design did not comply

with the code. For the project design teams, the issue

was not o carelessness or lack o concern or energy

code provisions. Rather, they lacked the necessary

expertise, which led to conusion, misinterpretation and

widespread compliance ailure.
