NC Threatens To Roll-Back Energy Efficiency Requirements

Read this full ASHRAE note. Here’s a slice:

In North Carolina, the latter situation may be coming to pass. If enacted, House Bill 201 would repeal statutorily mandated adoption of the 2012 state code and revert back to the 2009 edition, which are 30 percent less efficient than the 2012 code. The 2012 code includes a requirement for commercial buildings to either comply with Standard 90.1-2010 or to be 20 percent more energy efficient than Standard 90.1-2007.

Among its many concerning characteristics, the bill would, as a representative of the American Chemistry Council put it, “cause the state to miss out on significant energy conservation and will put North Carolina in the bottom tier for states in energy efficiency.”
