Input Needed - New Indiana Energy Code

Please see the proposed amendments to the ASHRAE 90.1 – 2007 Edition. The target date for completion and implementation is December 2009/January 2010 in order to meet federal mandates. Your input regarding the proposed amendment is encouraged and would be helpful.

Please direct your written comments to: Mara Snyder, Indiana Department of Homeland Security, Code Services Section, 302 W. Washington St., Room, W246, Indianapolis, IN 46204-2739, msnyder@dhs.in.gov. Also, please forward a copy of your comments to jshelley@aiaindiana.org.

Note in particular the proposed deletion of Section 11 on performance approach. It is believed that plan review and local officials will have trouble understanding and enforcing it.

Two public input meetings have been announced:

JULY 15, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. (E.D.T.), 302 W. Washington St.,
Conference Center Room D, Indianapolis, IN 46204.

The amendments will then be finalized and the code will go through the normal adoption process via publication of proposed rules, public hearing and adoption by the Commission.

GOT STIMULUS?
Where construction related stimulus funding comes from and where it is going.

With the housing market still fledgling and bond markets still teetering, the only good news in construction funding in the past several months has been the hope presented by the infusion of federal stimulus money. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (“ARRA”) is not a construction bill, it is a tax refund and jobs bill. Nonetheless, the federal government knows that more construction means more jobs . . . more jobs more quickly. Andy Mallon and Will Kelley from the construction industry law firm of Drewry Simmons Vornehm, LLP explore the sources of stimulus funds that are actually creating construction jobs and what types of projects the funds are creating. Learn where funds have in fact been dispersed and what types of funds are still coming.
