Building Code Board of Appeals <br />Agenda <br />May 18, 2023 <br />Page 14 of 15 <br />Berry would like to include an exemption for the building official as to the <br />compliance of the IECC if the compliance cannot be reasonably met. Also, that <br />until the monitoring and metering of the EUI is clear it should not be made a law. <br />Dino added that in terms of the availability of products is a huge problem in <br />today's market and economy and we're making things so extremely complicated <br />that they are very specialized systems which are going to be almost impossible <br />to get. <br />Berry would like to add that the City Council should not pursue Appendix CC in <br />the 2021 IECC. <br />Berry offered to type the talking points agreed by the board and send it out to the <br />board members, then read it verbatim at the meeting as a representative of the <br />board. The board members agreed that it would be accepted for Berry to <br />represent the entire board. <br />Berry also asked if he should state that the board has not been invited to any <br />work sessions to discuss the adoption of the commercial energy code. The board <br />agreed. <br />Root suggested that a better approach for adoption of building code should be to <br />ask the building official to look at adoption of code, then the board has a meeting <br />to decipher it, and develop a plan it even goes to first reading, and that this <br />board, and building official have not had that ability to do so. <br />Geise asked if the material they are reviewing should be posted five to seven <br />days before the meeting and the building official just received it the day prior to <br />this meeting. <br />Root answered that the agenda is being pushed by City Council. <br />Discussion and Approval for Final Text to be submitted to 2023 Work Plan <br />As an advisory board and building professionals at the City of Louisville that the <br />BCBOA Board be invited to consult and participate in study sessions and <br />meetings as a part of community design regarding building code changes and <br />energy code. <br />All board members present approved the text. <br />Discussion Items for Next Meeting <br />None at this time.
