What’s in it

AI summary Iowa will use the 2009 edition of the international energy conservation code as the basis for its electrical rules. Before making future changes to these electrical rules, a state board must study how much those changes would increase the cost of building an average home. Additionally, starting in 2027, people selling single-family houses must tell buyers if the home does not meet certain 2024 energy conservation standards.1
