An act relating to building energy codes

This bill amends Vermont's building energy code requirements and establishes procedures for a working group to oversee compliance. It creates a working group that will receive administrative and legal support from the Department of Public Service to review energy standards and submit reports to state committees by November 2024 and 2025. The legislation also updates the residential building contractor registry to require contractors to acknowledge compliance with state energy standards and mandates website updates to clarify these legal requirements. Additionally, the bill extends a deadline for energy code compliance from February 2030 to July 2026 and requires contract templates to include statements about energy standard compliance.
