ILLINOIS CURRENT CODE
Residential: None statewide Commercial: 2006 IECC AND 2004 ASHRAE 90.1 statewide DEMOGRAPHICS Population: 12,901,563 Total Housing Units: 4,981,258 ENERGY CONSUMPTION Residential Sector: 937.0 Trillion BTU Commercial Sector: 758.8 Trillion BTU 81% of the state’s natural gas supply is used for heating the home. Natural gas is the largest consumed source of energy for the state’s residential sector. Residential use of natural gas in Illinois costs up to $7.47/thousand cu ft. CODE CHANGE CYCLE No set schedule
Illinois will receive $101.3 Million from the federal government if the state adopts the latest energy codes: IECC 2009 (International Energy Conservation Code) ASHRAE 90.1 2007 (American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers) Accumulated residential sector savings, 2009 to 2020, would be: 13.1 trillion Btu of energy 846 thousand metric tons of CO2 (Equivalent to annual greenhouse gases for 154,945 passenger vehicles)
$111 million
$111 million would more than pay the full undergraduate tuition of current students at private universities in Illinois.
FINANCING OPPORTUNITIES: In February 2009 the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act allocated $3.1 billion for U.S. Department of Energy’s State Energy Program (SEP) to assist states with building energy efficiency efforts. As one of the requirements to receive SEP grants, state governors must certify to DOE that their state will implement energy codes of equal or greater stringency than the latest national model codes (currently IECC 2009 and Standard 90.1-2007). Thus, it is in the state’s best economic interests to adopt these standards statewide and begin enjoying the benefits of an efficient building sector.
CODE ADOPTION AND CHANGE PROCESS: Legislative: The promulgation of a statewide residential energy code, as well as changes to the commercial energy code, proceed through the state legislature.
