Does anyone know of a good summary of state and local energy code adoption for new building and ordinances for existing buildings? I know of this energycodes.gov site, but it feels somewhat misleading when you dig into it. For example, in CO, it suggests there is no min code, but there is, and it doesn’t show the extent to which local govs are exceeding it. Similarly for WA, there is a state code, but local jurisdictions can exceed that, which is why Seattle is an interesting model. It’d be great to see a map of the US with states where: (a) there is a state code and local govs can’t do anything else, (b) there is a state min code and local govs can exceed it, or (c) there is no state code and local govs can do what they want. And then a map of local govs that have exceeded state codes. Is that out there?
What about a map of existing building ordinances? All I really know about is LL97 (and those leading up to it), DC's EB standard, and St Louis' EB standard. Is everything else just incentive programs?
