I-2066 Compliance

There has been confusion over the WA energy codes and the passage of I-2066, and how the codes should be enforced. The Council has debated this at length and heard from the public. There are numerous laws that require the WA energy codes to meet certain requirements, including increasing energy efficiency, meeting requirements for cost, a public process, and the I-2066 initiative. The Council is investigating any changes necessary, if needed to bring the codes into compliance with the requirements under I-2066 and all other relevant laws. Until such time as the Council adopts any changes, the current 2021 codes will remain in place.
