103A.8A ENERGY CONSERVATION REQUIREMENTS.
The state building code commissioner shall adopt as a part of the
state building code a requirement that new single-family or
two-family residential construction shall comply with energy
conservation requirements. The requirements adopted by the
commissioner shall be based upon a nationally recognized standard or
code for energy conservation. The requirements shall only apply to
single-family or two-family residential construction commenced after
the adoption of the requirements. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this chapter to the contrary, the energy conservation
requirements adopted by the commissioner and approved by the council
shall apply to new single-family or two-family residential
construction commenced on or after July 1, 2008, and shall supersede
and replace any minimum requirements for energy conservation adopted
or enacted by a governmental subdivision prior to that date
applicable to such construction. The state building code
commissioner may provide training to builders, contractors, and other
interested persons on the adopted energy conservation requirements.
