A recent court decision in a case brought by NAHB and 15 states challenging federal energy code mandates is a major win for members and housing affordability. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas ruling prevents the HUD & USDA from implementing their final determination to impose the 2021 IECC & the 2019 ASHRARE 90.1 standard on certain single-family and multifamily housing programs. Studies show that HUD & USDA’s final determination to adopt these energy efficiency standards will add between $9,600 & $21,400 to the price of a new home depending on the climate zone. The payback period for these added investments can stretch as long as 90 years.
