Recently, the Nevada Governor’s Office of Energy announced the approval of the Southern Nevada Building Officials adoption of the modified version of the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). The modifications include amending the Section 406 Energy Rating Index Option to specifically recognize HERS Index Scores and a multiple-year path in which, over time, the stringency of energy performance increases. This action applies to all the code jurisdictions in southern Nevada.

Nevada has now joined Texas in incorporating a HERS Index compliance option to their energy codes. Download the infographic below for more information. Click here for more information on energy code jurisdictions recognizing HERS® Ratings for energy code compliance.
