UNIFORM CODE ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT REPORT
(REPORTING YEAR: 2022)
Instructions
The official who oversees code enforcement activities for your city, town, village, or county jurisdiction must complete this form. If your local
government has transferred such responsibilities to another local government by opting out of enforcement or entering a shared services
agreement as provided by law, then this official will be part of the other local government. Even if your local government is not required to
submit the report because it has transferred responsibility, we recommend you complete this form to assure the Department of State has
accurate information about who is responsible for code enforcement in your jurisdiction.
The *"Reporting Year"* is the calendar year (January through December) for which the reported data have been collected. The *"Uniform
Code"* is the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. The *"Energy Code"* is the New York State Energy Conservation
Construction Code. The *"Code Official"* is the offical enforcing the Uniform Code or Energy Code in the ${muni_type}.
If you are submitting on behalf of a local government that administers the Uniform Code or the Energy Code for other local governments, you
must submit a separate report on each city, town, village, and county for which you administer those services.
If you still have questions after reviewing this form and instructions, please contact the Division of Building Standards and Codes at (518)

UNIFORM CODE ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT REPORT
(REPORTING YEAR: 2022)
The State Energy Conservation Construction Code (Energy Code) was amended and updated in its entirety, effective October 3, 2016. The
amended and updated version of the Energy Code includes specific requirements relating to construction documents, applications for building
approvals of applications for building permits, and inspections and tests to be performed during construction. The questions in this section of
this Report relate to the Municipality’s familiarity with, and ability to enforce, these new provisions.
In this section of this Report, the term “2015 IECC” means the 2015 edition of the International Energy Conservation Code (Second Printing,
May 2015), the term “2016 Energy Code Supplement” means the publication entitled “2016 Supplement to the New York State Energy
Conservation Construction Code (Revised August 2016),” the term “residential building” is as defined in the 2016 Energy Code Supplement,
and the term “commercial building” means any building that is not a residential building
The term “residential building” includes: (1) detached one-family dwellings having not more than three stories above
grade plane; (2) detached two-family dwellings having not more than three stories above grade plane; (3) buildings that (i) consist of three or
more attached townhouse units and (ii) have not more than three stories above grade plane; (4) buildings that (i) are classified in accordance
with Chapter 3 of the 2015 International Building Code (as amended) in Group R-2, R-3 or R-4 and (ii) have not more than three stories above
grade plane; (5) factory manufactured homes (as defined in section 372(8) of the New York State Executive Law); and (6) mobile homes (as
defined in section 372(13) of the New York State Executive Law). For the purposes of this definition of the term “residential building,” the term
“townhouse unit” means a single-family dwelling unit constructed in a group of three or more attached units in which each unit (i) extends from
the foundation to roof and (ii) has open space on at least two sides.
Does the Municipality require that construction documents submitted as part of an application for a building permit?
show the following data and features of the building in sufficient detail to allow the Municipality to determine whether the building does or does
not comply with the Energy Code:
Representation of building’s thermal envelope?
Insulation materials and their R-values?
Fenestration U-factor and solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC)?
Area-weighted U-factor calculations and SHGC values (where applicable)?
Mechanical system design criteria (Manual “J” and Manual “S” for residential buildings)?
Mechanical and service water heating system and equipment types, sizes, and efficiencies?
Economizer description (in the case of a commercial building)?
Equipment and system controls (in the case of a commercial building)?
Fan motor horsepower (hp) and controls (in the case of a commercial building)?
Duct sealing, duct and pipe insulation and location?
Lighting Fixture schedule with wattage and control narrative (in the case of a commercial building)?
Location of daylight zones on floor plans (in the case of a commercial building)?
Air sealing details?

Inspections of footings and foundations to verify compliance with the Energy Code as to R-value, location, thickness, depth of burial and
protection of insulation as required by the Energy Code and approved plans and specifications?
Inspections at framing and rough-in, made before application of interior finish and to verify compliance with the Energy Code as to types of
insulation and corresponding R-values and their correct location and proper installation, fenestration properties (U-factor and SHGC and, in the
case of a commercial building, VT), and proper installation and air leakage components as required by the Energy Code and approved plans
and specifications?
Inspections at plumbing rough-in to verify compliance as required by the Energy Code and approved plans and specifications as to types of

HVAC equipment type and size, required controls, system insulation, and corresponding R-value; system and damper air leakage (in the case
of a commercial building) or system air leakage control (in the case of a residential building); and required energy recovery and economizers
(in the case of a commercial building) or programmable thermostats, dampers, whole-house ventilation, and minimum fan efficiency (in the
case of a residential building)?
Inspections at electrical rough-in to verify compliance as required by the Energy Code and approved plans and specifications as to installed
lighting systems, components and controls and, if applicable, installation of an electric meter for each dwelling unit?
A final inspection that verifies, in the case of a commercial building, the installation and proper operation of all building controls required by the
Energy Code, the receipt of documentation verifying that activities associated with building commissioning required by the Energy Code have

and the final inspection shall verify, in the case of a residential building, the installation of all building systems, equipment, and controls
required by the Energy Code and their proper operation and the installation of the number of high-efficacy lamps and fixtures required by the
Energy Code?

Does the Municipality require that a permanent certificate listing the predominant R-values of insulation installed be completed by the builder
or registered design professional and posted on a wall in the space where the furnace is located?
Does the Municipality require that building envelope values be confirmed as code compliant by at least one of the following methods?
