    3. Energy Codes in Iowa: Statutory Basis Energy conservation requirements included in State Building Code (also known as the State Energy Code) apply to buildings intended for human occupancy. State Energy Code applies statewide to: Any commercial construction New construction of one and two-family residences. Lighting efficiency standards apply to all construction and to new and replacement lighting in existing buildings.

    4. Energy Conservation in Construction: Additional Tools in the Iowa Code Energy Reviews: Required for any building over 100,000 cu. ft of conditioned space. Conducted by Architect or Engineer to certify compliance with the energy code. Iowa Code 103A.19(6). http://www.dps.state.ia.us/fm/building/PDFs/2008/2008_Iowa_State_Energy_Code_Review_Form.pdf Life Cycle Cost Analysis: Public Facilities over 20,000 square feet that are heated or cooled ; Optimize Energy Management over the Life Cycle of the Building.

These standards will be included in the State Building Code, but will not be applicable to construction unless invoked by another provision of law (statute or administrative rules). Issues: Requiring that specific energy conservation goals of significant energy savings beyond what is realized through compliance with the International Energy Conservation Code. Administrative flexibility to ensure compliance; certification as a "green building" does not occur until after construction is complete. One standard or various �approved� standards?
