What the differences in the updated model energy code were, here's a great resource.

    I am just finishing.....

    up a home here in NH, that is the only town that has adopted the 2012 energy code. Wow... it is very tough.... maybe too stringent.  3 AC/ hour is very tight.This house is a gut/ remodel so some parts are just not possible to attain. It will make building a home much more expensive to do now.

    Which town...

    ...in New Hampshire is it?  Do you know if others are considering adoption?

    that would....

    be Durham. It is up to each town to adopt it. The '07 energy code it pretty stringent. During a home building slow down I can't see a ton of towns jumping on 2012  right away.
