New Energy Code Requirement

The NH Legislature adopted a state wide building code in 2002. One of the new requirements is that all new structures, all renovated structures and all additions meet the International Energy Code (IECC 2000) before a building permit is issued. Since Kensington has only a part time building inspector, the Public Utilities Commission will approve the applications. You can find more information about energy codes along with the energy code applications at Public Utilities Commission

Follow the "Energy Codes" link on the left hand side of the page which will take you to the Energy Codes home page where applications for compliance are available. Please note, there are two separate applications - one for new construction and the other for additions, sunrooms and renovations. Applications are also available at the Town Hall during regular business hours.
