What is the anticipated extra cost of implementing the stretch energy code for small repairs?
Simple and small repairs (for example, patching drywall, replacing an existing door, repairing a window sash or frame, installing storm windows, replacing bulbs or ballasts in existing lighting) do not require a building permit and as a result are not required to meet stretch energy code requirements. There is no incremental cost of compliance with the stretch energy code for these types of activities.
