CODE ALERT BULLETIN

Brought to you by the Building Codes Assistance Project(BCAP) and its websiteTheOnline Code Environment & Advocacy Network(OCEAN)

Welcome to the weekly Code Alert Bulletin designed to share information and support timely

participation in state and local activities related to the adoption and implementation of building energy

codes. This bulletin highlights immediate opportunities to influence state and local policy outcomes,

indicates code status, and recommends contact for action. By promoting these opportunities among

energy efficiency supporters, advocates can collectively increase their impact at legislative and

regulatory proceedings at the state and local levels.

Please forward this bulletin to others who support the advancement of building energy efficiency.

If you are aware of activity that should be on this bulletin, or would like to provide feedback, please

contact Paul Karrer at(202) 530-4347 [email protected].

ALABAMAAlert Status: A January 12 vote to give final approval to Alabamas first mandatory statewide energy code was

postponed due to a lack of a quorum of the Alabama Residential and Energy Code (AERC) Board. The final draft of

the AERC was published in the November 30 issue of the state administrative journal. Board members plan to

meet again on March 12, republish the code in the journal for 35 days, and vote for final approval in April. The

previously planned June 1, 2012 effective date for enforcement will likely also be postponed.

As proposed, the commercial code would be based on the 2009 IECC. The residential code would be based on

Chapter 11 of the 2009 IRC withlist of amendments.

2/4

Legislation passed in March 2010 (SB 315) created the AERC Board with the authority to adopt mandatory

residential and commercial energy codes for the entire state and residential building codes for jurisdictions that

had not implemented a residential building code prior to March 2010. The state has previously adopted the

Residential Energy Code for Alabama (RECA 2004) based on the 2000 IECC as a voluntary code for residential

construction. Since December 2008, the 2006 IECC has been encouraged for private commercial construction. The

Alabama Building Commissionenforces ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007 for all state building construction.

The Alabama Energy Code Ambassadors Program (ECAP) will alsoexpand in 2012.

CALIFORNIAAlert Status: The California Energy Commission (CEC) has prepared45-day draft languagefor its update to the state

building energy code (Title 24, Part 6), the 2013 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (BEES) The current draft

represents a 30% energy savings over the current 2008 BEES.

The language (Express Terms) was released for a 45-day public comment period on February 24. Public hearingsare scheduled for March 12, 13 (if needed), and 15 (if needed) in Sacramento. The full CEC adoption hearing is

scheduled for April 11 in Sacramento. After reviewing this feedback, the CEC will later release 15-day language

and review final feedback, with a target final adoption date in October. After implementation activities

throughout 2013, he standards would become effective January 1, 2014.

On February 15 and 17, BCAP and NRDC hosted brief webinarson the details of the new building energy code,

including why it is critically important that the public serve as active participants in the process. If you missed the

presentation and are interesting in learning more, you may view the resourceshere.

MISSISSIPPIAlert Status: On February 20, legislation (SB 2887) was introduced in the Mississippi Legislature amending

Mississippi Code 57-39-21 that would task the Department of Economic and Community Development to develop

commercial energy standards that meet or exceed the stringency of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007. Should it pass,

it would be effective July 1, 2012. DECA would not be responsible for enforcement; local jurisdictions are tasked

with adopting rules and regulations to administer and enforce the code and charge inspection fees. The state

currently has no mandatory statewide energy code.

The bill has been assigned to theSenate Energy Committee.

UTAHAlert Status: On January 12, legislation (HB 262) was introduced in the Utah State Legislature that would adopt the

residential portions of the 2009 IECC (the Utah Uniform Building Code currently references the 2006 IECC for

residential buildings and the 2009 IECC for non-residential buildings). Though the bill was approved by the House

Rules Committee in February, it was tabled by the House Political Subdivisions Committee on February 29,

indefinitely postponing action during this general session.

Previously, the legislature passed theState Construction Code Adoption Actadopting the commercial provisions

of the 2009 IECC in July 2010. The Utah Uniform Building Code Commission recommended the residential

portions of the 2009 IECC for adoption in September 2010, but a legislative review committeedeclined to acton

the recommendation in October 2010. Similar committees declined to take up similar update legislation in the

February 2011general sessionor the October 2011 interim session. Severallocal media outletshave highlightedthe significant benefits of updating the energy code for Utahs citizens.

ARKANSASAlert Status: In January, the Administrative Rules and Regulations Subcommittee of the Arkansas General Assembly

approved the Arkansas Energy Office (AEO) 2011 proposal to update the states commercial energy code. The

code update rule has renamed the 2004 Arkansas Energy Code as the Arkansas Energy Code for New Building

Construction. Effective January, 1, 2013, it updates the commercial provisions to reference ASHRAE Standard

90.1-2007 and Chapter 5 of the 2009 IECC (theprevious 2004 state codeis based on ASHRAE 90.1-2001 and the

2003 IECC), while the residential standards will continue to reference the 2003 IECC. AEO has also partnered with

the state chapter of the USGBC to provide four training sessions on the new commercial code in 2012.

Arkansas has already begun taking several actions to improve the states energy code policies similar to

recommendations developed by BCAP in the states Gap Analysis Report. In March 2011, the state legislature

created a regulatory update processby authorizing AEO to promulgate rules to update the states energy codes.

As directed by the state legislature, AEO began implementing the Rules for Sustainable Energy-Efficient Public

Buildings on January 1, 2011. The rules are based on ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007 with strengthening

amendments that achieve energy savings 10% beyond the base code.

SOUTH CAROLINAAlert Status: In February, House and Senate committees in the South Carolina Legislature approved bills to update

the South Carolina Energy Standard to reference the 2009 IECC (it currently references the 2006 IECC). On

February 1, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed S. 1110. On February 2, the House Labor Commerce and

Industry Committee passed H. 4639. The South Carolina Home Builders Association spoke in favor of the bills,

which now move to the floor of each chamber.

The proposed update previously won approval by the state Energy Advisory Council (EAC) of the Public Utility

Review Committeeof the South Carolina Legislature. The planned effective date would be January 1, 2013.

The South Carolina Building Code Council has also begun to review of the 2012 family of I-codes. Recent

investigation and analysis by Mathis Consulting Company for the 2012 IECC for South Carolina showed cost

effective and significant energy and peak power benefits to the state.

BCAP also recently completed its South Carolina Strategic Compliance Plan as part of its Compliance Planning

Assistance (CPA) Program.
