2011 Nebraska Energy Code

Last updated: 14 February 2019
2011 Nebraska Energy Code, based on the 2009 IECC with NE administrative amendments.

The Nebraska Energy Code, codified in Nebraska Administrative Code Title 107, is mandatory for all jurisdictions enforcing an energy code. Local jurisdictions may adopt their own codes, but state law requires that these local codes be of equal or greater stringency to the current Nebraska Energy Code. If a town or county has not adopted an energy code or does not wish to adopt an energy code, the Nebraska Energy Office will enforce the code in that jurisdiction.

The code applies to new residential and commercial construction as well as renovations that will cost more than 50 percent of the replacement cost of the building. There are some exemptions from the code, including historic buildings, modular housing units, mobile homes, and renovations that will cost less than 50 percent of the replacement cost of the building.
