Editor's Notes
- I’m Jim Bradley…(a bit about yourself) and I’m pitching on “Why Code Compliance Now?”
- Our energy goals and policies and resolutions and agreements and requirements are all marching along…but compliance is dropping.
- Starting top left and moving clockwise: Let’s pass S. 136! Regarding AHJ: We would need at least 1 staff inhouse to oversee the database(s) (builders and properties). We could also have 1 “Circuit Rider” that travels throughout VT and does random sampling of new buildings and retrofits/renovations. Regarding verification, we would need to “deputize” these auditors in order to have them have some power or requirement to mail in documentation that the building met code…but this is just blower door testing…more thought needed here. Regarding a database to store property information in, “HELIX” is now uploading solar and other data into Vermont’s MLS, in partnership with NEREN. Regarding education – more people will increase their education if it is connected to their name and company via a building registration. Regarding enforcement options: Striking “not” from the legislative language pertaining to RBES with regards to title validity is the simplest and least costly way to require energy code is met. This doesn’t mean it is not without it’s challenges (e.g. realtor pushback). There are other options, such as requiring each and every town to issue permits & COOs, and then to have an entity check that that towns are doing this work. Or – we can regulate appraisers and real estate agents and lenders. Or we can pay for code officials.
