Building Code Review and Adoption Amendments

Description

  • This bill amends provisions related to the State Construction Code

Sponsors

  • Rep Brad Wilson, R - Kaysville
  • Sen Stuart Adams, R - Layton

Results

  • We wish this bill required that new houses be built with a well-insulated envelope and well-sealed, insulated heating ducts. It costs a little more during construction, but are expensive & difficult to retrofit. These efforts will continue to payoff the lifetime of the home, 50 years or more.
