All Missourians deserve safe and energy-efcient buildings.
This Local Energy Code Action Kit provides municipalities and counties
with information and resources to support the adoption of the model energy

What DoThey Cover?
Energy codes address wall and ceiling insulation, window and door specications, H
and ventilation equipment efciency, and lighting xtures, among other building featu
Energy codes set the minimum standard for the energy efciency of building
ensure that homes and commercial buildings reduce their energy use, lower utility
and improve occupant comfort.
The International Code Council (ICC) and the American Society of Hea
Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) develop and up
building codes and standards on three-year cycles. The U.S. Department of En
(DOE) reviews them to determine their efciency and cost-effectiveness and m
recommendations for state adoption.

The ICC 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) is the current m

Due to its history of strong local government, Missouri does not have a
mandatory statewide energy code, however all local jurisdictions except
class III counties have the right to adopt an energy code. As expected,his system creates a sometimes confusing patchwork of different codes
hroughout the state.
Regardless of the system in place, the bottom line is that many jurisdictions
n Missouri still dont have an energy codemeaning that many residents
do not receive the benets of energy-efcient construction.

ts much more cost-effective to build to the model energy code during construction than try to
mprove efciency later through expensive retrots that do not achieve comparable savings. For sense
of scale, consider that in 2008 Missouri received $227.2 million in Weatherization Assistance Program
WAP) funds to improve the energy efciency of low-income housing.4
f they buy a new home in 2011 built to the latest energy code,Missouri homeowners will see net
savings within no more than two years.After breaking even, low utility bills will help them realize
a prot of up to $31 per month.

Adopt the Latest Model Energy Code
Build Stakeholder Support for Energy Codes
Kansas City incorporates energy codes into its broader sustainability effort:
1) The Environmental Management Commission advises the city on energy/environmental issu
2) The Chamber of Commerces Climate Protection Partnership brings together 180 businesse
and institutions that support energy efciency implementation.
3) The Sustainability Coordinator works regionally to promote energy efciency efforts.
4) The Climate Protection Plan includes energy codes as a policy tool.5) Kansas City joined with ten municipalities and the Mid-America Regional Council to create a
regional energy strategy and promote the adoption of the 2012 IECC.
Columbia created commissions to advise the city council on energy code issues:
1) The Building Construction Codes Commission (BCCC) reviews codes and provides a construct
industry perspective.
2) The Environment and Energy Commission adds input on the benets of energy codes, stimula
public interest, and engages public/private agencies.
The University City Green Practices Committee provides input into energy code adoption efforts.
Jackson County, Lake St. Louis, Marshall, OFallon, and the City of St. Louis have adopted t
2009 IECC. Creve Coeurand Independence are currently in the adoption process.St. Charles County and St. Louis County have adopted the 2009 IRC with amendments.

Processthe implementation
Code ofcials and building professionals must learn energy code
requirements and stay up-to-date on code changes. Classroom
training is the most common and feasible method. On-site training is
preferred. There are also a number of resources available for online
training, though ideally this should supplement in-person training.
Code ofcials must work with building professionals to set clear
expectations for energy code compliance. They must be proactive
about discussing code requirements and providing corrections at
every step of the plan review and enforcement process. It is also
important for code ofcials to seamlessly incorporate energy code
enforcement into their established inspection procedures.
Green and above codes achieve even greater energy savings. Options
range from local amendments to national codes and standards. More
efcient construction often requires stronger enforcement, including
efciency testing from third-party organizations. Green and above
codes are also an excellent option for public buildings in jurisdictions
that want to lead by example.

2009 IECC Climate ZonesMost of Missouri falls under the Climate Zone 4 (yellow) similar to much of
the Upper South. The northern quarter of the state is in the colder Climate
Zone 5 (green), which has stricter insulation requirements.

Leading by Example
Kansas City
1) City-owned facilities must meet LEED Gold standards; city-funded residential projects must
meet ENERGY STAR qualications.
2) The city tracks utility bills for renovated city-owned facilities. It saves about $2 million annua
Claytons 2006 Municipal Building Standard requires new construction and major renovations of cowned and occupied buildings over 5,000 square feet to earn LEED Silver certication.
Springelds 2008 Green Building Policy requires renovations of city-owned buildings to incorporLEED for Existing Buildings to the greatest extent practical.
Other Best Practices
Columbia Water and Lights Home Performance with ENERGY STAR home renovation programresults in an average energy bill reduction of 29%. They also offer free energy audits to customers
Columbia conducts an open wall inspection for insulation as one of ve required inspections.
Springeld modied the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) to include ENERGY STAR (and similar)
rated homes. Realtors can use this information to market homes and track whether they sell fasteand at a higher price.

Why Energy Codes Matter for Missouri
Save Energy, Save Money
InMissouri,home s built tothe currentmodel energycodeuse 18-26percent less
energy thanthe state average,saving their occupants $353-565 peryearin
lowerutilitybills.Thats moneythat goes directlyto consumersand companiespockets.
Andthesesavings addup.If allmunicipalities inMissouriadoptedandenforcedthemodelenergycodestatewide
in2011,thestate would save$318billion annuallyin energycostsby2030.It would also avoid 26trillionBtu of energyuseannuallyby2030.
Protect Occupants
Everyonehasa right to buildingsthat meets nationalstandardsforenergyefficiency.Builders mustcomply
withenergy codes as stringentlyas theycomply with codes for life,health, andsafety.
Make a Cost-Effective Investment

Evenwhenyoufactor in theadditionalupfrontcost,whenamortizedover astandardmortgage,Missourihomeownerswill seenet savingswithin thefirst year. From there,they will spend about $30 to $47 less on
utilitybillspermonth!
Help Make Informed Decisions
Knowingthat a buildingis energy-efficient
empowersconsumersand businessestomakeinformed decisions.Beforebuyingor
renting,do your research.Ask thecurrent
occupants whattheypay. If its anew home,ask
thebuilder aboutits energyefficiencyandthen
makethem show you how it meetscode.
Reduce Pollution and Increase
Reliability
Mostbuildings wasteenergy needlessly,which
increasespollution and puts stresson the
grid.Byadoptingenergycodes,Missouriwould
prevent1.4 millionmetric tons of CO2annually by
2030 .
Provide Quality and Comfort

StateStrategies
Stateswill not have to tackle t he problemo developing a90% compliance strategy by themselves. Te Departmento Energy (DOE) hascreateda dedicatedState Compliance Evaluation Procedureswebsite1 that providesvideos,resources, and web toolsto show statesand local inspectionsdepartments what the compliance measurement
processcould looklike. DOE sta membersare also available to answerquestionsand researchbest practices.
In addition, by the all 2011, DOEwill have completedpilotstudiesin nine statesacross the country to developlocal
