Codes & Standards
In partnership with local building departments, and as directed by House Bill 07-1146, the Governor's Energy Office (GEO) has announced plans to deliver statewide residential and commercial energy code training workshops across Colorado. Workshops are offered in 28 locations around the state between April 21 and June 20, 2008.
The energy code workshops feature full day training on both commercial and residential energy codes, specifically the 2003 or 2006 versions of the International Energy Conservation Code (2006 IECC or 2003 IECC). Training will be delivered by a nationally recognized code training organization, International Code Council (ICC), and be offered at no cost to Colorado code officials, homebuilders, developers, architects, engineers and other building industry professionals. Additionally, all attendees will receive official code books, work book resources and continuing technical assistance from ICC.
During the 2007 legislative session, House Bill 1146 (HB 1146), was passed by lawmakers in an effort to improve the energy efficiency of Colorado’s new buildings as part of the New Energy Economy. HB 1146 calls for all jurisdictions that have a building code to adopt a minimum energy code standard by July 1, 2008.
E-Star Colorado, a non-profit that provides resources to Colorado code officials on energy issues, is working with GEO to manage the registration process. The locations and dates of the training sessions are listed below and are subject to change. All workshops are scheduled from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM. Attendees are eligible to receive 6 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) from the class.
