This adoption would significantly change the <br />requirements of the Energy Code requirements. As of right, a <br />1,500 square foot to 5,000 square foot single family residence <br />is required to have 3.5 credits. These credits can be obtained <br />with energy efficient appliances and construction methods. With <br />the new code requirements, a 1,500 square foot to 5,000 square <br />foot single family residence would be required to have 6.0 <br />credits. Also, if the customer chooses electric heat, it would <br />automatically put them in -1.0 credits and would then require <br />7.0 credits. The building department has invited the Washington <br />State Energy Code Specialists to come to the Kittitas Valley <br />Armony May 11, 2020 to put on a seminar for the building <br />community to answer questions and teach how to achieve these new <br />requirements. <br />The meeting was adjourned 1:40 p.m. <br />C4ANs �,W- CoN�. n� k Cif <br />alvana Carper <br />2020-3-9 MINUTES 1 <br />KITTITAS COUNTY <br />COMMISSIONERS <br />KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br />Brett Wachsmith, Chairman <br />
