OHIO CURRENT CODE
Residential: 2006 IECC (Mandatory) Commercial: 2006 IECC (Mandatory) DEMOGRAPHICS Population: 11,485,910 Total Housing Units: 4,875,496 ENERGY CONSUMPTION Residential Sector: 886.8 Trillion BTU Commercial Sector: 671.3 Trillion BTU 69% of the natural gas supply in Ohio is consumed to heat residential homes. Residential use of natural gas costs $12.54/thousand cubic ft.
Ohio will receive $96 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: 7.5 trillion Btu of energy 483 thousand metric tons of CO2 (Equivalent to the annual emissions of 88,462 passenger vehicles) $66 million. $66 million could pay more than the full undergraduate tuition for current students at private universities in Ohio 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:
Coal fuels about nine-tenths of net electricity generation in Ohio.
Regulatory Process: Changes to the Ohio Building Code are promulgated by the Board of Building Standards, the primary state agency authorized to protect the public's safety and welfare in building design and construction. Rules proposed by the Board are filed with the Secretary of State, the Legislative Service ComCODE CHANGE CYCLE mission, and a committee of the General Assembly known as the Joint CommitNo set schedule tee on Agency Rule Review (JCARR) at least 60 days prior to adoption.
