Additional Programs and Solutions
Voluntary Home Energy Information Pilot Program
In the March 2020 Legislative Session, Utah passed H.B. 235 — Voluntary Home Energy Information Pilot Program.
This legislation directs OED to design a pilot program that encourages energy efficiency in residential homes through education and a comprehensive, transparent and understandable home energy scorecard that evaluates and compares a home’s energy performance to other similar homes.
As part of this bill, we are creating the Home Energy Information Advisory Committee that will help develop rules and a scoring system for the pilot program.
Intermountain Industrial Assessment Center
We partner with the Intermountain Industrial Assessment Center to provide no-cost energy consulting services to manufacturers in the Intermountain region — helping identify between 10 and 20 percent energy and productivity savings.
Building Talks: Utah’s Energy Code Training Program
In partnership with Dominion Energy and Rocky Mountain Power, we provide energy code education to builders, code officials and trades workers.
