The state
energy offices are encouraged to partner
with their respective state building
regulatory agencies, along with staff in
the Governor’s office involved with
building energy issues, and jointly
attend this important Energy Code
Workshop. If joint attendance is not
possible, we strongly urge these and
other appropriate entities in each state
to meet prior to the Workshop to discuss
state plans and needs associated with
energy codes. This will ensure that
those attending from each state can
represent all the interests of the state
and the parties involved in building
energy codes.
In order to structure the Workshop’s
flexible discussion sessions to be of
benefit to all participants, state and
local agency staff involved with energy
codes and energy policy related to
buildings are encouraged to provide
NASEO with code related issues, concerns
and topics in advance of the Workshop –

effort, please contact Brian.
