Ala. Admin. Code r. 305-2-4-.01
The Residential Energy Codes Board of Alabama was originally created under the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affair's area of responsibility. Governor Fob James signed Act 95-537 creating the Board for the purpose of promoting and overseeing the implementation of the Model Energy Code by encouraging the conservation and efficient use of residential energy resources within this state's local jurisdictions; encouraging and promoting the acceptance, adoption and implementation of residential model energy codes; advising and assisting local governments in adopting and implementing those model energy codes and identifying and promoting energy management technologies. In 2010 Governor Bob Riley signed Act 2010-185 increasing the representation of Board members and renaming the Board the Alabama Energy and Residential Codes Board (Board), and expanding the Board's authority with respect to all matters pertaining to the acceptance, adoption and implementation of commercial and residential energy codes and residential building codes by municipal and county governments in the state. These acts as amended are codified in Title 41, Chapter 23, Article 5 of the Code of Ala. 1975.
