Seattle Energy Code e-mail list,

After over 30 years working on Energy Codes, I’m retiring from the City of Seattle.  Next Tuesday, 22 May 2012, will be my last day working for DPD.

Here are contacts at the Seattle Department of Planning and Development (DPD):

-          For Energy Code questions, please contact Shailesh Desai at shailesh.desai@seattle.gov 206-233-7860.

-          For future Energy Code development, please contact Duane Jonlin at duane.jonlin@seattle.gov 206-233-2781.

Duane Jonlin is busy now on the 2012 Washington State Energy Code (WSEC).  The 2012 WSEC is being developed with the 2012 IECC as a base (incorporating existing 2009 WSEC requirements where they have greater energy savings).  The likely schedule is for a public review draft to be released in August 2012, public hearings in September 2012, final adoption in November 2012, and effective in July 2013.

The 2012 Seattle Energy Code process is expected to start later this year.
