The Wisconsin statutory mandate for superinsulation of one and two-family dwellings heated by electricity was repealed by recently-signed 2007 Act 67, which will be effective at the end of March. The act says: "The department may not promulgate or enforce a rule that requires that any one-family or two-family dwelling that uses electricity for space heating be superinsulated." S&B will be developing rules in the future to remove the current regulations, which are not now enforceable.
