Coalition Urges Support for Sustainable Building Energy Codes
In late May, a coalition led by the ICC and supported by ERA sent a letter to the House Subcommittee on Energy, Climate, and Grid Security. Signed by nearly 40 organizations representing state/local, housing, manufacturing, contractor, sustainability, engineering, design, and resilience interests, the letter emphasized the significant return on investment from adopting and effectively implementing building energy codes. The coalition urged the Subcommittee to recognize the value of sustainable building policies and to support the continued bipartisan development, adoption, and enforcement of these energy codes and standards.
