At the request of Mayor Casper, the City Clerk read the following memo from the Planning and Building Director: City of Idaho Falls January 15, 2015 MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM:Brad Cramer, Planning and Building Director SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF 2012 INTERNATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION CODE The Idaho Building Code Act requires local jurisdictions to adopt and enforce building codes as adopted by the State of Idaho. The State has now adopted the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code with amendments. Attached is a memorandum from Idaho Falls Building Official, Reginald Fuller, outlining the Department’s recommendation to adopt the code as written, without the amendments.

Where these amendments do not reflect the code as written which will affect the increase in energy efficiency over the previous 2009 IECC without the Idaho amendments with the exception of any local amendments by the jurisdiction. This is also to include the Idaho amendments in Chapter 11 for energy efficiency in the 2012 International Residential Code. The reason for this recommendation is that the 2009 IECC was adopted statewide in 2011 and had an estimated 15% increase in energy over the previous 2006 edition. The 2012 IECC increases energy efficiency by about another 15% over the 2009 edition.  JANUARY 22 , 2015 ______________________________________________________________________________ ____________ This in turn creates more energy efficient homes thereby providing energy cost savings for Idaho Falls homeowners.

The next available Council Meeting for this public hearing is January 22, 2015. If there are any questions or you need additional information, please let me know.
