Direction was given to Austin Energy to meet with the Greater Austin Home Builders' Association to: 1. Review the proposed window U-factor to ascertain if the level of efficiency being proposed in the amendments is the optimum level in terms of energy saved and cost to implement. 2. Determine if batch testing as currently allowed under the energy code should be allowed in the newly proposed code. 3. Ensure that city staff and GAHBA clearly understand the process to be followed for development of the 2012 and 2015 energy codes and described in the 2007 Zero Energy Capable Homes Plan. Staff was directed to work with the Home Builders' Association to review these items and to report back to Council on their findings within 60 days.
