Summary

The bill adopts the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) only for construction that falls under the International Residential Code, while other building types must be adopted separately by the state codes council. It also creates a formal process for local jurisdictions to request variances and for statewide changes to the energy standard to follow the same procedure as other building codes. The changes aim to keep energy standards uniform across the state while allowing flexibility for local conditions.
