MOVING FORWARD As with most municipalities, Houston continually upgrades its building codes, generally on a three year cycle, with the recommendation from the Construction Industry Council. On January 1, 2009, Houston upgraded its residential energy code to IECC 2006, and beginning in October, will implement a 15% additional energy efficiency improvement. In effect, Houston’s baseline residential code will meet or Energy Star. The City of Houston has chartered an impressive course and has proven that it can move rapidly when the future of our city and its next generations are at stake. By working with partners, setting an example, and increasing public awareness, Houston can and will reach the 30% reductions in energy usage it has promised. –Steve Stelzer, AIA
