Global Green Works on National Energy Efficiency Campaign
Global Green Policy and Legislative Associate David Fink will be in Minneapolis from Sept. 17th through Sept. 23rd for the culmination of a nine month campaign aimed at updating the most utilized residential building code in the country to make it 30% more energy efficient.
Modifying the International Energy Conservation Code is one of the most cost effective and practical ways to help mitigate the potentially devastating impact of global warming. The proposal will also save home owners and tenants considerably on their utility bills. Global Green has been working as part of a coalition called the Energy Efficient Codes Coalition on the campaign. The body that votes on code change proposals is the International Codes Council who only considers proposals once every three years making this one of the most important votes anywhere this year.
