What does Nebraska’s new energy code mean for building enclosures?
Nebraska Code Updates
Beginning August 1st, 2024, the Nebraska State Electrical Division adopted the NFPA 70 National Electric Code 2023. Note: The Nebraska State Electrical Division sets the NEC for the entire state, local cities can’t amend up or down.
Beginning August 1st, 2024, the City of Grand Island, NE is on the 2021 IBC, IRC, IEBC, UPC, UMC, IFC, and 2023 NEC (see above). There are several local amendments, see https://www.grand-island.com/departments/community-development/building-services for details.
