The bill expands energy conservation requirements to include existing residential renovations and repairs and modifies how these requirements interact with governmental subdivisions' regulations.

  • Section 103A.8A

    to all single-family or two-family residential construction commenced on or after July 1, 2010 → to single-family or two-family residential construction commenced on or after July 1, 2010, including renovations and repairs

    This change applies energy conservation requirements to renovations and repairs of existing residences.

  • Section 103A.8A

    the energy conservation requirements adopted by the commissioner shall apply to new single-family or two-family residential construction commenced on or after July 1, 2008, and shall supersede and replace any minimum requirements for energy conservation adopted or enacted by a governmental subdivision prior to that date applicable to such construction

    This removes the provision that allows state standards to override local regulations, potentially giving more authority to local governments.

  • Section 103A.10, subsection 5

    5. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the energy conservation requirements adopted by the commissioner shall replace any minimum energy conservation requirements that are less restrictive than those required by the commissioner.

    This eliminates a subsection regarding the supremacy of commissioner standards over less restrictive local regulations.

  • This Act applies retroactively to July 1, 2010.

    This provision ensures that the changes made by the bill can be applied to any relevant construction that began after the specified date.
