Conservation Codes and Building Codes

The SNBO (Southern Nevada Building Officials) has determined the following adoption schedule they will recommend to their respective elected officials:  Ron Lynn, Clark County; Chris Knight, City of Las Vegas; Michael Bouse, City of Henderson; Greg Blackburn, City of North Las Vegas.

 

Building Codes:

Adoption Date:  July 1, 2010 - Effective Date:  July 1, 2011

 

You will have the next year to change your plans, specs, file with the building departments and train your staff.  It also gives the local governments time to train their staff.

 

Note:

Once the 2009 codes are adopted, if you choose to use them sooner than next year, you can do so under alternative methods.  This may be advantageous in some instances on some commercial projects.

 

2009 IECC:

Clark County, Cities of Las Vegas and North Las Vegas building officials have decided for consistency and cost savings on plan redraw, to have the effective date of July 1, 2011 (same as other codes).

The City of Henderson (Michael Bouse) and other Henderson city departments, are still discussing the effective date and have not made a definitive decision.
