FINANCE COMMITTEE VOTE: 9-0
FINANCE COMMITTEE DISCUSSION:
APPROVED__________DISAPPROVED__________
ARTICLE 33
AMEND GENERAL BYLAW ARTICLE XXIII STRETCH ENERGY CODE (SPECIALIZED ENERGY CODE)
Article 33 To see if the Town will vote to amend General Bylaw Article XXIII to change the code to Specialized
Energy Code by adding and deleting language as outlined in the following with new language in bold and language
to be deleted in strikethrough.
ARTICLE XXIII STRETCH SPECIALIZED ENERGY CODE
6. DEFINITIONS The terms below shall have the following meanings for the purposes of this Article XXIII.
International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) – The International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) is a
building energy code created by the International Code Council. It is a model code adopted by many state
and municipal governments in the United States for the establishment of minimum design and
construction requirements for energy efficiency, and is updated on a three-year cycle. The baseline energy
conservation requirements of the MA State Building Code are the IECC with Massachusetts amendments,
as approved by the Board of Building Regulations and Standards.
SPECIALIZED ENERGY CODE- Codified by the entirety of 225 CMR 22 and 23 including
Appendices RC and CC, the Specialized Energy Code adds residential and commercial
appendices to the Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code, based on amendments to the respective
net-zero appendices of the (IECC) to incorporate the energy efficiency of the Stretch Energy
Code and further reduce the climate impacts of buildings built to this code, with the goal of
achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from the buildings sector no later than 2050
Stretch Energy Code – Codified by 225 CMR 22 and 23, not including Appendices RC and CC, the
Stretch Energy Code is a comprehensive set of amendments to the IECC seeking to achieve all
lifecycle cost-effective energy efficiency in accordance with the Green Communities Act of
2008, as well as to reduce the climate impacts of buildings built to this code.
2. PURPOSE The purpose of 780 CMR 115.AA the Specialized Energy Code 225 CMR 22 and 23 including
Appendices RC and CC, is to provide a more energy efficient alternative to the Stretch Energy Code or the
Base Energy Code, applicable to the relevant sections of the Building Code for both new construction and existing
buildings.
3. APPLICABILITY The Stretch Specialized Energy Code applies to residential and commercial buildings. Buildings
not included in this scope shall comply with 780 CMR 13, 34, 51, as applicable.
4. STRETCH CODE The Stretch Code, as codified by the Board of Building Regulations and Standards as 780 CMR
Appendix 115.AA, including any future editions, amendments or modifications, is herein incorporated by reference
into these General Bylaws, Article XXIII.
4. SPECIALIZED ENERGY CODE The Specialized Energy Code, as codified by the entirety of 225
CMR 22 and 23 including Appendices RC and CC, and also including any future editions, amendments,
or modifications, is herein incorporated by reference into the Town of Canton General Bylaws, Article
XXIII.
80Source page 82
ANNUAL TOWN MEETING – MAY 11, 2026
5. ENFORCEMENT The Stretch Specialized Energy Code is enforceable by the Building Commissioner.
6. Effective DATE This chapter and by its incorporation herein, the Specialized Energy Code, 225 CMR
22 and 23 including Appendices RC and CC, shall take effect in the Town of Canton with an effective
date of January 1, 2027, subject to the provisions of MGL Chapter 40, Section 32.
Or take any other action related thereto.
This Article serves two purposes. One, to modernize, clarify, consolidate and eliminate redundancies in the Town’s
current Energy Building Code and General Bylaws. Secondly, the addition of Specialized Code, while only
applicable to new construction and without replacing the existing Base and Stretch Code, greatly increases both
energy efficiency in new buildings construction and consumer choice, ensuring consumer protection through energy
affordability and avoiding costly future retrofits.
Select Board for the Sustainability Climate Action Plan Committee
Select Board of Discussion: The Select Board does not support this article at this time due to concerns about
potential unintended consequences associated with adopting the Specialized Energy Code. While the goals of
increased energy efficiency are recognized, the Board is concerned that the additional requirements may
significantly increase construction costs, which could discourage new development and negatively impact future
economic growth in the Town. Additionally, the Select Board believes there has not yet been sufficient public
education and community discussion regarding the full costs, benefits, and implications of adopting the Specialized
Energy Code. For these reasons, the Board recommends further outreach and evaluation before considering
adoption. Vote 2-3-0
MOVED: That General Bylaw Article XXIII be amended to change the Stretch Energy Code to
Specialized Energy Code by adding and deleting language as presented in the warrant.
