Share A Panel Discussion: Idaho’s Energy Code Future . Panelists : Michael Hyde, DOPL Patrick Sullivan, City of Nampa David Freelove, Idaho Energy Code Circuit Rider Damon Woods, Integrated Design Lab Moderator : Dan Russell, PE . The energy code and it’s value to Idahoans is under great discussion and debate in recent months as the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses has brought all codes under full review in response to the Governor’s Executive Order for Zero-Based Rulemaking. As rulemakers engage with the public through these discussions, questions arise about what value an energy code, or specific sections therein, bring to a state like Idaho and it’s local communities. . Do the measures captured in the energy code actually save building owners money? Are the measures cost-effective? Do energy code measures offer any life safety, health or environmental quality benefits? Are energy code measures enforceable? Does the energy code pose an undue burden on those financing building construction? Does the energy code benefit any stakeholders in a uniquely positive way? How does the energy code or lack of one impact the local electric utility demand and associated payer rates? Can the energy code be feasibly diced up into sections or individual measures such that there is a middle ground between retaining the full energy code and eliminating it all together? If so, what specific measures are best candidates for meeting this middle ground? . Many of these questions and possibly questions you have will be discussed by this industry panel. We believe this is an extremely timely topic for our Society, our Chapter and our Idaho community.
