“ We started using BasicGov’s
planning software a few years ago,
then this year we added additional
BasicGov modules for code
enforcement, licensing, GIS
integration and permits,” said a

Keys to successful green
building code
implementation
1. Engage key constituents early on.
2. Ensure compliance with federal preemption.2. Ensure compliance with federal preemption.
3. Tailor the code to your jurisdiction.
4. Provide training to code officials.
5. Educate about new codes.
Early Green Building “Codes”
The D.C. Green Building Act of 2006
• Starting January 1, 2012 privately-owned projects must
be LEED certified
• Applicant must provide “performance bond”
• “All or part of the performance bond shall be forfeited • “All or part of the performance bond shall be forfeited
to the District and deposited in the Green Building Fund
if the building fails to meet the verification
requirements . . . .”

Challenges to Green Building Codes
Federal preemption:
"A standard prescribed or established under section 6313(a) of this title shall, beginning on the effective date of such standard, supersede any State or local regulation concerning the the effective date of such standard, supersede any State or local regulation concerning the energy efficiency or energy use of a product for which a standard is prescribed or established pursuant to such section.”
-National Appliance Energy Conservation Act
Challenges to Green Building Codes
Albuquerque Energy Conservation Code
1. The building must achieve LEED certification;
2. The proposed building must be 30 percent more 2. The proposed building must be 30 percent more
energy efficient than a baseline building; or
3. The Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning
(HVAC) system and equipment must comply
with minimum energy efficiency standards.
Challenges to Green Building Codes
Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (ACHRI) v. City of Albuquerque
"The Court concludes that the prescriptive provisions of Volume I requiring the use of heating, ventilation, or air conditioning products or water heaters with energy efficiency or water heaters with energy efficiency standards more stringent than federal standards are regulations that concern the energy efficiency of covered products and, therefore, are preempted as a matter of law."

• Unlike Albuquerque case, Washington did not include preempted, performance-based alternatives.
• “Further, there appear to be substantial differences in the Albuquerque code and Washington’s code.”

Public Version 1.0 of the International Green Construction Code was
developed in 2010 by the Sustainable Building Technology Committee (SBTC)
appointed by the ICC Board of Directors, with the American Institute of Architects
and ASTM International as Cooperating Sponsors
Public Version 2.0 of the International Green Construction Code was issued
THE KOBET CHEATHAM GROUP
Public Version 2.0 of the International Green Construction Code was issued
on November 3, 2010 after the Public Comments submitted to Public Version 1.0
were considered by the IGCC Public Comment Committee at the Public
Hearings held in Rosemont, IL, August 14 – 21, 2010
2012 International Green Construction Code will be a result of revisions to
Public Version 2.0. Revisions will be in the form of code changes which will be
processed in accordance with ICC’s Code Development Process (as outlined in
Council Policy #28) comprised of Code Development and Final Action Hearings
in 2011. The 2012 IGCC is scheduled for release in March 2012.
