  5. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act • General Requirements of ARRA • Target Benchmarks: • 2009 IECC for Residential • ASHRAE 90.1-2007 for Commercial • 90% compliance: • Model Energy Codes (state-developed) exceeding 2009 IECC or 90.1-2007 • SB16 is Texas’ response • (adopted 09 IECC effective 2012)

  6. Legislative Background Information In 2001 (SB 5) the legislature made the finding that an effective building energy code is essential to: (1)  reducing the air pollutant emissions that are affecting the health of residents of this state; (2)  moderating future peak electric power demand; (3)  assuring the reliability of the electrical grid; and (4)  controlling energy costs for residents and businesses in this state.

  7. Legislative Background Information To accomplish these findings: 1. The energy efficiency chapter of the IRC, (2000/2001 supplement) was adopted as the energy code in this state for single-family residential construction, and 2.  The IECC (2000/2001 supplement) was adopted as the energy code in this state for all other residential, commercial, and industrial construction.

  8. Legislative Background Information  A City shall establish procedures: (1)  for administration and enforcement; and (2)  to ensure that code-certified inspectors shall perform energy inspections A City may establish procedures to adopt local amendments to the energy codes, but Local amendments may not result in less stringent energy efficiency requirements in nonattainment areas and in affected counties, and Local amendments must comply with the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act

  9. Texas’ Non-attainmentand Near Non-attainment Areas

  10. Legislative Background Information If the SECO determines, based on written recommendations from the ESL, that the energy efficiency provisions of the latest editions of the IRC or the IECC for residential or commercial energy efficiency and air quality are equivalent to or more stringent than the base codes, SECO may by rule adopt and substitute in the energy code the equivalent or more stringent editions

  11. Legislative Background Information Effective January 1, 2012, the energy efficiency provisions of the International Residential Code as they existed on May 1, 2009, are adopted as the energy code in this state for single-family residential construction Effective April 1, 2011, the International Energy Conservation Code as it existed on May 1, 2009, is adopted as the energy code for use in this state for all residential, commercial, and industrial construction that is not single-family residential NOTE: Single family is defined as 1& 2 family detached dwellings and townhomes in the statute

  12. Legislative Background Information ESL, at the request of a City, shall determine the relative impact of proposed local amendments to an energy code, including whether proposed amendments are substantially equal to or less stringent than the unamended code.  For the purpose of establishing uniform requirements throughout a region, and on request of a council of governments, a county, or a municipality, the laboratory may recommend a climatically appropriate modification or a climate zone designation for a county or group of counties that is different from the climate zone designation in the unamended code.

  13. Legislative Background Information North Central Texas Council of Governments has reviewed and provided “recommended” amendments to the 2009 IECC and the energy provisions of the 2009 IRC “Recommended” amendments have been reviewed and approved by ESL as not less stringent Available for viewing and download at: http://www.nctcog.org/envir/SEEDevEx/codes/2009amendments.asp
