FLOOR
AMENDMENT EXPLANATION
The Griffin Floor Amendment
declares that affordable housing is a matter of statewide concern, as is energy
efficiency. It adjusts the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) index score deemed
to comply with county or municipal energy efficiency requirements to 73 for
climate zones two and three, 76 for climate zone four and 80 in climate zone
five and defines what counties, cities and towns are included in each climate
zone. Written confirmation of a HERS score must be provided to the city, town
or county where the residential building is located.
The amendment further clarifies that
this legislation does not prohibit cities, towns or counties from adopting the
international energy conservation code or international residential code nor
does it require municipalities or counties to adopt any such code.
Finally, the amendment includes language
allowing for periodic legislative review of the compatibility of the statute
introduced by this legislation and Arizona’s goals for affordable housing and
energy efficiency.
