Call to Action!
January 25, 2010

If you have not already done so, please contact your state representative ASAP and ask him or her to support HB 1063, energy efficient buildings!

House of Representatives Phone - 800/382-9841

Email - http://www.in.gov/cgi-bin/legislative/contact/contact.pl

HB 1063 - Energy Efficient Buildings - HB 1063, energy efficient buildings, authored by Rep. Matt Pierce (D-Bloomington), requires certain government buildings to be designed and constructed or renovated to achieve or exceed the performance criteria determined under certain rating systems. AIA Indiana strongly supports this measure and was the first to testify in favor of it in the House Environmental Affairs Committee.

The bill passed out of committee with a vote count of 8-3 and is now eligible for a vote on the House floor. It will likely be voted on this week by the full House.

Support your profession by attending an AIA Indiana Day at the Statehouse. AIA Indiana Days at the Statehouse provides members an opportunity to learn about key state legislative and regulatory issues. Members become a lobbyist for an afternoon and use their clout to directly impact the legislative process. AIA Indiana members meet with their state legislators and discuss various issues important to architects including sustainable design, interior design registration, services tax, etc.

You are invited to participate in our 2010 AIA Indiana Days at the Statehouse. Available dates include: Jan. 27, Feb. 1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 17, and 18.

New Indiana Energy Code

Please see the proposed amendments to the ASHRAE 90.1 – 2007 Edition.  The target date for completion and implementation is December 2009/January 2010 in order to meet federal mandates.  Note in particular the proposed deletion of Section 11 on performance approach.  It is believed that plan review and local officials will have trouble understanding and enforcing it.
