UPCOMING MEETINGS October 28 - 4:00pm Government Affairs Committee Meeting November 9 - 4:30pm Executive Committee/ Board of Directors Meeting QUICK LINKS OMB website BIAW website NAHB website Heat Pump Exemption Notice  The State Building Code Council was notified by the industry that because of the current global microchip shortage, they are not able to obtain the outdoor portion of residential heat pumps. Because the equipment is a frequently installed component to achieve the required energy credits in the residential energy code, there is a concern that projects already permitted and in construction will not be able to obtain a certificate of occupancy, which in turn can also affect the financing. This emergency rule is being adopted to specify that homes can still receive the certificate of occupancy and the required energy credits while still waiting on installation of the outdoor compressor unit. For more information please visit: Rulemaking | SBCC (wa.gov)
