AN ORDINANCE AMENDING Title 5 of the Revised Ordinances of Salt
Lake City, Utah, 1965, as amended, relating to the Department of Build-
ing and Housing Codes, by ADDING a new Chapter 17 entitled "Energy Con-
servation"; providing for the rejection of the Utah State for Energy
Conservation on New Building Construction and for the adoption of the
Salt Lake City Code for Energy Conservation in New Building Construc-
tion.
Be it ordained by the Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake City,
Utah:
SECTION 1. Purpose. Whereas the Board of City Commissioners
finds that the existing building code imposing standards for construc-
tion heretofore adopted by the City fails to specifically deal with
energy conservation measures; and whereas, insofar as possible, such
conservation standards and measures should be fostered and implemented
into the construction of new buildings to encourage more efficient
energy systems in anticipation of shortages and increased energy costs
within reasonable construction operating and maintenance systems; and
whereas the State of Utah has adopted and promulgated a State energy
conservation code pursuant to Section 63-9-50, Utah Code Annotated, as
amended, which will be imposed upon political subdivisions who fail to
adopt their own codes; and whereas the City lacks the wherewithal to
implement and enforce said State code at the present time; and whereas
manufacturers of construction materials are not yet disclosing necessary
technical data on their labels which is a necessary forerunner of any
meaningful enforcement of certain sections of any energy conservation
code; and whereas conservation standards are forthcoming from HUD; and
whereas building construction regulation has always been the jurisdic-
tion, power and responsibility of political subdivisions; therefore,
the Board of City Commissioners finds an impelling public need to re-
0')
-2-
ject the provision of the Utah State Code for Energy Conservation and
to adopt the Salt Lake City Energy Conservation Code for Construction
in New Buildings to be implemented as set forth below.
SECTION 2. That Title 5 of the Revised Ordinances of Salt Lake
City, Utah, 1965, be amended, relating to Building and Housing Codes,
be, and the same hereby is amended by ADDING a new chapter 17 to read
as follows:

tion," 1977 edition, promulgated by the State of Utah in the

of City Commissioners pursuant to the provisions of Section
63-9-50, Utah Code Annotated and is rejected by implementation
by the adoption of the Salt Lake City Code for Energy Conserva-
tion in New Building Construction, 1978 edition,in (b) below.
(b) Energy Conservation Code adopted. That certain pam-
phlet entitled "The Salt Lake City Code for Energy Conserva-
tion in New Building Construction", 1978 edition, to be pub-
lished with technical amendments by the Department of Building

by Salt Lake City as an ordinance, rule and regulation of said
City to be implemented as set forth therein; three (3) copies
of said Code hereinafter referred to in the Chapter as this
"Code" shall be filed for use and examination by the public
in the office of the recorder of Salt Lake City. The purpose
of this Code is to deal with and establish rules and regula-
tions regarding energy conservation standards which must be
implemented in all new construction requiring a building per-
mit. Said Code also contains penalty for violations thereof
which are supplemented by the provisions of Chapter 15 of this
Title. This Code shall be cited as Title 5, Chapter 17; of
the Revised Ordinances of Salt Lake City, Utah, as amended,
and sections therein shall be referred to as subsections of
this section 5-17-1(b) .
(c) Implementation dates. This Code has been structured
into a three independent path approach, each path of which
will produce a code complying building. The first two paths
require extensive calculations by architects and engineers
while calculations for path three will be performed by the
Department. Therefore, paths will be implemented in stages
and in sequences as follows:
