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].

Alert Status: The California Energy Commission (CEC) has prepared a2013 updateto the state building energy code

(Title 24, Part 6). The current draft represents a 30% energy savings over the current 2008 version. It is scheduled

to be released for public comment in late February.

Please join BCAP and NRDC for a brief, free webinar to learn about the details of the new building energy code,

including why it is critically important that the public serve as active participants in the process. Two sessions are

scheduled:

Wed. Feb. 15: 10:00am-11:00am PT (1:00pm-2:00pm ET) Manufacturers, industry

Fri. Feb. 17: 10:00am-11:00am PT (1:00pm-2:00pm ET) Energy efficiency advocates, environmental justice

Alert Status: This year, BCAP kicks off a new effort to educate homeowners and home buyers on the benefits of

energy codes. Working with national, state, and local partners, BCAP will raise consumer awarenessto increase

support for energy codes. Examples of specific services BCAP could provide include: customized, co-branded

consumer materials for distribution by local jurisdictions and the state, cost-analysis information using state-

specific data, and media outreach to garner earned media. BCAP is seeking up to four states and four local

jurisdictions interested inreceiving support.

Action: If interested in getting involved, please contact Kelly Guhanick of BCAP [[email protected]]

COMPLIANCE COALITIONSAlert Status: Many states have adopted more modern energy codes, but are struggling to provide the requisite

training, enforcement, and other support needed to fully implement and enforce the code. BCAP has funding to

work with up to six states to develop statewide Compliance Coalitions to assist states in their effort to

implement and enforce their newly adopted energy codes. BCAP may provide this type of assistance to states:

assisting states in determining potential collaborative members, reaching out to them to solicit their

participation, organizing initial meetings, and working with the collaborative for the duration of this project to

help determine their needs.

ALABAMAAlert Status: A January 12 vote to give final approval to Alabamas first ma ndatory 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 in February, republish the code in the journal, 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.

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.

2009 IECC. The rule does not propose updates to the non-energy provisions of the states residential 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 costeffective 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.
