pected to be complete sometime late thissummer/early fall and then IBA will beginRound 2 of the program. The Home Energy Conservation Programprovides comprehensive weatherizationservices to low-income households whichinclude, but are not limited to: furnace andwater heater health and safety evaluation,repair and/or replacement; insulation of theattic, sidewalls, or other uninsulated areas;and measured, and cost effective air sealingof the structure. Services are designed toreduce energy consumption and utilitycosts for heating low-income homes. “This has been a great program for IBA,the residential construction industry andHoosiers in need of energy efficiency mea-sures for their home,” comments AndyPlace, Sr., CGB, CGP, IBA’s 2010 President.“The program has helped many Hoosier

businesses keep their doors open andkeep their employees working duringone of the worst housing slumps in his-tory.” Rick Wajda, IBA’s Chief ExecutiveOfficer, noted that “Contractors partici-pating in this program will have a legup on their competition when the mar-ket comes back because consumers arebeginning to demand a workingknowledge of energy efficiency mea-sures and how their new home or re-modeling job will perform from an effi-ciency standpoint. And with Congressdebating the $6 billion dollar HomeStar program, there may be a huge fi-nancial incentive for consumers toweatherize and increase the efficiencyof their existing homes sooner ratherthen later.”

Special Note: The IBA continues to look for newcontractors and auditors across manyareas of the state to handle theworkload. If you are interested in work-ing for IBA’s Home Energy Conser-vation Program, please visit our website at: www.ibaenergy.org and/orcontact Mike Hannigan, Jr. [email protected] or 1-800-377-6334 ext. 202.

n July 6, the U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency will expand thelead-based paint Renovation, Re-

pair and Painting rule to include all homesbuilt before 1978 by removing the “opt-out” provision, which had allowed homeowners of residents where no pregnantwomen or children under the age of six liveto waive the requirements of the rule.

EPA revokes lead paint opt-out waiver- Includes all homes built before 1978 -

O The new mandate will increase the num-ber of homes covered by the lead rules froman estimated 9.4 million to about 79 mil-lion, even though the EPA estimates that asignificantly smaller number of homes -about 38 million - still contain lead paint. NAHB vigorously opposed this change,arguing that the EPA was greatly and un-necessarily increasing the cost of the rulewithout providing additional health ben-efits or protecting children from potentiallead exposure. The lead rule change, published in theFederal Register on May 6, also requiresremodelers to share a copy of the compli-ance records - such as the confirmation ofcustomer lead education, checklist of fol-lowed practices and any lead testing results- with the home owners within 30 days ofcompletion of the work.

E ach year millions of dollars arefunneled out of Hoosier busi-nesses because of incidents and

unsafe work conditions that lead to occu-pational injuries and illnesses. This sum-mer IBA is hosting a FREE seminar aroundthe state, “Build Safe with INSafe”. Providing a safe workplace will save yourbusiness money through lower worker in-jury and illness rates; decreased Workers’Compensation costs; reduced lost work-days; and minimizing equipment damageand product losses. “Build Safe with INSafe” provides guid-ance on the top ten violations cited byIOSHA, as well as how to protect employ-

Build Safe with INSafe Seminarsees from the BIGfour physicalhazards. There is no costto attend theseminars, butspace is limited.The seminarswill be held July

20 in Westville, August 19 in Lawrence, andSeptember 28 in Seymour. Choose the semi-nar that is most convenient and register to-day. See the registration form on page 5. If you have any questions, contact CarlieHopper at [email protected] or 800-377-6334 ext. 206.

resulting in an “orphan” or wasted lot. With E/One Sewer Systems you can sewer

he residential construction in-dustry, in good times and bad, hasalways been actively involved in

the communities in which they live. Onegreat example is the relationships ourbuilder and supplier members and local as-

Home builders and Habitat - A greatrelationship built on helping others

sociations have with the local affiliates ofHabitat for Humanity. It would only make sense that these twoorganizations have a strong and vibrant re-

lationship. Take a look at the mission state-ments of the Indiana Builders Associationand Habitat for Humanity International. IBA’s mission: The Indiana Builders As-sociation works to educate its members, thegeneral public, elected officials and regu-latory bodies to maintain and develop work-able and affordable regulations and lawsthat enable the citizens of Indiana to own ahome. Habitat’s mission: Habitat for Humanityworks in partnership with God and peopleeverywhere, from all walks of life, to de-velop communities with people in need bybuilding and renovating houses so that there

are decent houses in decent communitiesin which every person can experience God’slove and can live and grow into all thatGod intends. Both groups strive to build and main-tain affordable housing in communities andthe ability for both groups to be successfulrests squarely in the hands of its membersand volunteers who believe in its missions. There are numerous examples of great

partnerships with local home builders asso-ciations and local Habitat affiliates acrossthe state of Indiana. One specific area thatstands out to me is the work between theMonroe County Building Association andHabitat for Humanity of Monroe County.These two organizations work hand in handcreating homes for residents in need in theirarea, but they also take it a step further bycreating strategic alliances on issues of in-terest to the industry. Their leaders, Nancy Baldwin of theMonroe County Building Association andKerry Thomson of the Habitat Affiliate havea great working relationship that has provento be beneficial to both groups. As a mem-ber of the Board of Directors for Habitat forHumanity of Indiana, I have heard and seenfirsthand the benefit of this alliance. The two groups recently kicked off their2010 Home Builders Blitz where

homebuilders will build four homes forHabitat in just ten days. The builders se-cure in-kind donations of all materials andservices needed to house the families. Dur-ing the last Home Builders Blitz in 2008,five homes were built in less than a week.Considering the hard times many Hoosiersare experiencing, as well as many of ourmembers, it makes this commitment thatmuch more extraordinary. The four homesbeing built will put the number of homesconstructed by Habitat in Monroe Countyover 100. I had the pleasure of attending the kick-off ceremony in Bloomington (see pictures)

and to reconnect with some builders who Ihad not seen in awhile. It truly is amazingto see the outpouring of support from ourranks to help families in need with a smileon their face and a skip in their step. I am proud to be a part of a group that iswilling to share of their time, talents andtreasure to help their fellow Hoosiersachieve the “American Dream” ofhomeownership.

fter 13 months, 17 meetings, 85hours, and nearly 500 proposedcode changes, the state’s IRC

Review Committee has completed its workon the 2009 International Residential Code. Some of the highlights of the Committee’swork include: * Including an egress window in everybasement; * Including an option for a wirelesssmoke alarm system; * Increasing energy efficiency by 32 per-cent; * Deleting requirements for arc-fault cir-cuit-interrupters, fire sprinkler systems, andcarbon monoxide alarms; * Changing the seismic design catego-ries in southwest Indiana counties from D0to C and C1; and * Disapproving a proposed code changeto protect floors. So, what’s the price tag for this ultra-safe, extra energy efficient home built tothe newest residential code? Preliminaryfiscal impact data indicates the cost will bemore than $55 million dollars - $4,600 pernew home - with more than one-third of thecost from increased energy efficiency re-quirements alone. What does a 32 percent more energy ef-ficient home save you? “New homebuyerswill not incur any savings in the first yearunder the prescriptive path, buthomeowners and builders may see savingsusing the performance option” accordingto Matthew Brown, Energy Diagnostics. Assuming the fiscal impact of the pro-posed rule is approved by the Office of Man-agement and Budget, (Rule Adoption Pro-cess is explained below), IBA membersshould gear up for the public hearing. IBAwill provide details on the public hearingonce it’s scheduled. The new residential code will likely beeffective in the spring of 2011 and IBA willoffer training around the state to educate itsmembers and building officials on thechanges to residential construction.

Indiana BA members for their work on theseismic provisions.

Rule Adoption Process First, the Indiana Department of Home-land Security code services staff will pro-duce the proposed rule, including the fiscalimpact, at the Indiana Fire Prevention andBuilding Safety Commission meeting onAugust 3. Next, a Notice of Intent to adopt a rule issent to the Legislative Services Agency (LSA)and published in the Indiana Register. Twenty-eight days later the proposed ruleis published in the Indiana Register. Since the fiscal impact exceeds$500,000, notice must be sent to the Officeof Management and Budget (OMB) 50 daysprior to the public hearing. Response from OMB must be received

not less than 45 days after they receivednotice from the agency. The public hearing is scheduled 21 to60 days after the proposed rule is publishedin the Indiana Register. A summary of the public hearing is pro-vided to the Commission and the proposedrule is considered for adoption. If adopted by the Commission, the pro-posed rule moves to the Attorney General’sOffice for up to 45 days, then to theGovernor’s Office for up to 30 days. If signed by the Governor, the proposedrule is submitted to the Publisher and be-comes effective no sooner than 30 days af-ter submission.

recently met to consider interim study com-mittees and assign specific topics for eachto study.

Council in the form of reports by Novem-ber 1st. In addition to topics studied at the willof the interim committee Chairperson, sev-eral topics of interest were assigned by theLegislative Council. The Commission on Courts will discussmechanic’s liens and specifically issues sur-rounding HB 1179 (Bartlett D-Indianapo-lis) which would have allowed an employeerepresentative or a third party beneficiarypursuant to a collective bargaining agree-ment of a person who performs labor hasthe same rights and remedies pursuant tomechanic’s liens as the person who per-formed the work. It is possible that thecommittee will expand its scope on thetopic to discuss the use of mechanic’s liensand recommend changes to the existingmechanic’s lien statute. The Unemployment Insurance OversightCommittee will study the feasibility andvalue of indexing unemployment benefitsand taxable wage base per Senate EnrolledAct 23. A newly formed Committee on EconomicDevelopment will be taking a look at a va-riety of issues surrounding best practices,effectiveness of existing incentives, andneeded improvements. IBA staff monitors all topics being dis-cussed by these committees and providesinput on issues impacting the industry. It iscommon for legislators to introduce legis-lation to address issues discussed duringinterim committees and providing inputhelps legislators understand the potentialramifications. This is our opportunity to be at the tablewhen issues are being discussed early-on asopposed to waiting until session when timeconstraints can hinder the likelihood ofamendments to address issues.

s of this writing, I have the goodfortune of having my office lo-cated in a rural area that at times

is teaming with wildlife. As showers passover and dusk approaches, ducks and geeseon the pond share the space, a male turkeyis strutting in the wheat grass in his splen-dor while a pair of sand hill cranes returnsto their nest with their yearling. The soundsof frogs resonate clearly while fire fly’s oc-casion the twilight to be filled with flicker-ing light. Almost idyllic! God really knowswhat he is doing!

Membership efforts return IBA to over 4,000 membersIBA members and contractors around thestate. Shifting gears; perhaps the light we seein the tunnel is no longer the locomotiveclosing in on us, but more accurately thetrue light at the end. The building commu-nity is certainly resilient. Our industry con-tinues to battle credit issues (A D & C); ap-praisal issues; underwriting issues, and ma-terial pricing that makes no sense and abuying public that continues to ask us toprovide more features on tighter budgets.Yet the creativity and the perseverance ofour members continues to move new con-struction and remodeling forward. Welldone members!

I remind you again to take the time tosponsor “one” member this year. Your localHBA and IBA are great organizations. Net-working and educational opportunities con-tinue to build professionalism. Your in-volvement across the state continues tomold and shape the face of housing. Therelationships you build and cultivate con-tinue to put housings best foot forward inyour community and statewide. IBA’s annual golf outing is coming up inAugust: this is a great opportunity to sup-port the national Build-PAC. Help IBAmake this a sold out event this year. Ournext board meeting is in July at the BlueChip Casino. Can we count on you for your

support of this event? Again, time to buildrelationships. A final thought: IBA exists to serve itsmembers. If you are successful, IBA is suc-cessful as an advocate for affordable hous-ing in Indiana. If you are currently not serv-ing in any capacity at any level; I ask youto commit and serve. I assure you that yourtime and talent will make your communityand association a better place to live andwork. Second, if you are serving on yourlocal board, but not involved at the statelevel; join us. We need your input, we needyour skills and we need your knowledge. Enjoy the summer!

In this context, the wildlife I speak of aremembers of a finite ecosystem on this pieceof ground; each contributing to or takingaway something from their participation inthe ecology. As spring turns into summer;undoubtedly the balance of usage willchange, the participants may change andthe frequency of visits may change, but thepond will continue to sustain the local wild-life. All the while, assuming a deft eye ob-serves the events as they occur, many lifelessons will be taught. I know these are not normal openingcomments for a membership column, al-though I do think appropriate. In my partof the world, several local associations haveor will soon host Parade of Homes events,the month of May was national member-ship month, graduations and proms haveoccurred and many families will soon leaveon summer vacation. My point: being busyis great, but sometimes the simple things -the quite things, help to clear our minds,center us, and prompt us to focus as we moveforward with life. In the month of May, IBA membershipstabilized above 4,000 members; 4006 tobe exact. This feat is due to the efforts of alllocal associations across the state drivenby members who continue to recruit. Myhat goes off to three individuals who tookmembership month in earnest this year:Donnie Stash, CGR; David Kovich, GMB,CGP, CAPS; and Mike Smith, CGA. Theseindividuals led the state in sponsoring newmembers in May! Thank you for your ef-forts and for your continued commitmentto grow membership in your local buildersassociations by building relationships! The continued hard work and solid per-formance of our staff has created the oppor-tunity for second round funding for theHome Energy Conservation program. Thisis a solid testament to staff, to the auditorsand to the contractors who have worked re-lentlessly to bring this program from 0-60in short order. Well done! This is a win forthe residents of the state of Indiana and for
