America’s “Most Significant Energy & Environment Policy Vote of 2008”
— Echoing a unanimous resolution passed in June by the US Conference of Mayors, the Energy Efficiency Codes Coalition (EEEC) today urged local Minnesota cities to send their maximum allowable voting delegation of building code officials to this September’s International Code Council (ICC) Annual Meeting in Minneapolis to help win adoption of “The 30% Solution.”
“The 30% Solution” is a comprehensive set of proposals by the EECC that employs a variety of affordable, everyday steps – like installing efficient lighting, windows and higher levels of insulation – to boost the model energy efficiency code for new home construction by 30 percent. EEEC’s broad-based support comes from some of America’s top energy-efficiency advocates from government, utilities, environmental groups, academia, energy consumers and businesses.
