Maddy summaryHB 3510 amends the existing Energy Efficient Building Act. The bill specifically modifies the adoption dates for "stretch energy codes," which are building standards designed to enhance energy efficiency. These codes incorporate "site energy index standards," likely metrics for measuring a building's energy performance. This legislation primarily adjusts the timeline for when these updated energy efficiency requirements will take effect for new construction and renovations.
