Code Adoption & Change Process

Process Type: Legislative

Code Change Process: Promulgation of a statewide energy code would have to proceed through the state legislature.

State Code History: In 1978 when the South Dakota building code was first enacted, an energy code was part of Chapter 53 of the state building code. However, only three jurisdictions adopted the energy code portion of the state building code. As of 1994, no jurisdictions actively enforced the energy code portion of the state building code.
