Committee flags ERI/performance pathway as potential tool to speed rebuilds

Committee members debated whether suspending the energy-code adoption schedule or instead leveraging parts of the 2024 energy code would better support rapid rebuilding after wildfire. Jay Arnold and others noted that some features of the 2024 energy code—specially the ERI/performance pathway—ould be helpful as a tool for recovery if the pathway remains available for affected rebuild projects. "And specifically, the ERI pathway that's in the 20 24 code, could be a way to, assist rebuilding efforts," Jay said.
