The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) received a $14,730,604 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Information Dissemination, Outreach, Training and Technical Analysis/Assistance program (CFDA 81.117). The grant supports DEP's efforts to review and provide recommendations on updating the 2024 International Code Council (ICC) suite of building codes for adoption in Pennsylvania by 2027, with implementation by 2028. This multi-year project involves the DEP's Review and Advisory Council (RAC) reviewing and amending the 2024 ICC codes, leading to recommendations for updating the state's building energy codes. The grant is intended to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve building energy performance, and support the transition to more sustainable infrastructure across Pennsylvania.
