The State of New Mexico's Construction Industries Divisions has held public hearings for the discussion and adoption of the latest codes impacting all permitted building construction in the state. The New Mexico Energy Conservation Code, is one of the affected codes.

The New Mexico Energy Codes is proposed to go into effect on July 1, 2010, and is based on the IECC-2009 code (which is based on the ASHRAE 90.1-2007 Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential).

The New Mexico Energy Conservation Code will impact the thermal performance of building envelopes, efficiency of HVAC equipment, plus design and controls strategies for such equipment, and established maximum lighting power density and controls for illumination of commercial buildings.
