Building Codes Assistance Project

The Office of the Attorney General drafted a memo specifying the requirments of adoption of the residential and commercial energy codes as required by House Bill 07-1146.  House Bill 07-1146 requires all cities and counties with building codes to adopt and enforce a relatively up-to-date building energy code (2003 IECC). 

"Counties with building codes are required to adopt and apply the Energy Code to commercial and residential buildings regulated by the county’s building code. Municipalities with building codes are required to adopt and apply the Energy Code to all commercial and residential buildings in the municipality regardless of the reach of the municipality’s building code."

To view the memo, please consult the Colorado Office of the Attorney General Website to view the pdf version.
