FWIW, in my experience (ASHRAE), the building standards are written by engineers without much input from lawyers.
I’m pretty sure LEED enforcement is actually a trademark issue (as LEED is just a private organization that allows buildings to use the LEED logo if they meet certain requirements). Enforcement of IBC/ASHRAE stuff is typically done at the county level—and the people who do that are not lawyers either, they’re building inspectors.
Maybe look at public policy? Probably HUD or maybe DOE.

Thanks! Will look.
