Bill Description
Under Wisconsin law, the Department of Safety and Professional Services’ (DSPS’) energy conservation code sets certain design requirements for energy conservation in public buildings and places of employment. To promote energy efficiency, limit pollution, and reduce energy costs, local communities should have the ability to enact additional standards that go beyond this code. SB 777 & AB 825 would allow local communities to enact additional standards through a “stretch energy code”. This code would be built by a DSPS working group created under the bill.
