Building Codes Assistance Project

The Maine Legislature passed a bill on April 18, 2008 to adopt and enforce a statewide energy code.  The bill also establishes the Division of Building Codes and Standards to administer the code and provide techncial support.  The bill requires that the 2009 IECC (along with the 2009 versions of the IBC, IRC, and IEBC) will be incorporated into the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code and that future versions of these codes update the Maine state code.  Enforcement of the statewide code will start on June 1, 2010.
