Hartford follows the 2022 CT State Building Code energy provisions under CT §29-252 and CT §16a-38, requiring IECC compliance for new construction, plus CT §16a-38k LEED Silver minimums for state-funded projects in Hartford.
CT §29-252 adopts the 2022 IECC, requiring Hartford new construction and major renovations to meet energy-efficiency targets for insulation, fenestration, lighting, and HVAC. CT §16a-38 sets statewide energy-conservation policy, while CT §16a-38k mandates LEED Silver or equivalent for state-funded buildings over 5,000 square feet, including many Hartford schools, libraries, and municipal projects. The Hartford Climate Stewardship Initiative encourages voluntary higher standards. EV-ready and solar-ready provisions in the IECC apply to new garages and large parking lots. Building Department reviews COMcheck or REScheck reports during permit issuance.
Permit denial, certificate-of-occupancy hold, energy-rebate clawback, state-grant disqualification for noncompliance, and corrective-work orders.
