Current Status Comments:

Effective in August 2009, the state's voluntary energy codes (the 1993 MECand ASHRAE 90.1-1989) was removed. With the new statute, the state's Code Advisory Committee must include energy requirements in the state building codes (currently, the 2006 I-Codes with the energy efficiency sections of Chapter 11 of the IRC and Chapter 13 of the IBC removed). These codes are, of course, still voluntary and subject to adoption by local ordinance.
