Sponsor Pulls Plug on Aquaculture Building Code Exemption by Ethan Andrews Tuesday, June 1, 2021 1:42 PM A bill that would have exempted land-based aquaculture from the state’s building and energy code has been voted down in committee at the request of the sponsor. To what extent companies planning such facilities will have to comply with the code remains unclear. LD 1473, an emergency governor’s bill sponsored by Sen.

Read Article REGION – Efficiency Maine today announced that it is partnering with the Maine Office of State Fire Marshal to offer a free, one-hour webinar this month to introduce the energy provisions of Maine’s new building codes, which take effect on July 1, 2021, and will apply to all new building construction in Maine.

We are pleased to partner with the Fire Marshal’s team to get these training opportuni ....
