The Town of Niskayuna seeks to protect and promote the public
health, safety, and welfare of its residents by mandating energy efficient
building standards. The 2020 Energy Conservation Construction Code
of New York State (ECCCNYS), updated by the New York State Fire Prevention
and Building Code Council, must be complied with for residential and
commercial buildings unless a more restrictive energy code is voluntarily
adopted by a local jurisdiction. In 2019, the. New York State Energy
Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) developed and published
the NYStretch Energy Code 2020 (hereafter referred to as "NYStretch"),
a more energy-efficient building code than the 2020 ECCCNYS. This
article seeks to modify the Town Code to adopt NYStretch and to enact
more restrictive regulations as they relate to new or substantially
renovated buildings.
Effective July 1, 2021, the NYStretch Energy Code 2020, published
by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (hereafter
referred to as "NYStretch"), shall be applicable to all new construction,
substantial renovations, alterations and additions, as required by
the 2020 ECCCNYS as amended by NYStretch in the Town of Niskayuna.
This article is enacted pursuant to New York Energy Law § 11-109,
Subdivision 1, and Municipal Home Rule Law § 10 in accordance
with the procedures detailed in Municipal Home Rule § 20.
