Notice of Public Hearing
The Construction Industries Commission will convene a public hearing for the repeal and replacement of 14.7.6 NMAC – 2018 New Mexico Residential Energy Conservation Code and 14.7.9 NMAC – 2018 New Mexico Commercial Energy Conservation Code. The hearing will be held before a hearing officer, at which time any interested person is invited to submit data, views, or arguments on the proposed changes, either orally or in writing, and to examine witnesses testifying at the hearing. The hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, January 3, 2024.
The purpose of this public rule hearing is to receive public comments regarding the repeal the 2018 New Mexico Energy Conservation Codes and replaced with the 2021 Energy Conservation Codes. The Energy Conservation Codes establish minimum standards for energy conservation for residential and commercial construction in New Mexico.
The statutory authority for this rulemaking is found in the New Mexico Construction Industries Licensing Act, Subsections F and K of Section 60-13-9 and Section 60-13-44 NMSA 1978.
The hearing is scheduled as follows:
An in-person hearing shall be held on Wednesday, January 3, 2024, at the Regulation and Licensing Department, 5500 San Antonio Drive NE, Albuquerque, NM, Sandia Conference room, starting at 9:30 a.m. The hearing will remain open until 10:00 a.m. or until participants have an opportunity to make public comments, whichever is longer.
Interested persons may obtain copies of the proposed rule changes by logging onto the Construction Industries Division website (www.rld.nm.gov/construction-industries) to download the proposed rules or by written request to the Albuquerque CID Office – Regulation and Licensing Department, 5500 San Antonio Drive NE, Suite F, Albuquerque, NM 87109, attention: Quindi Otero-Robertson.
You may send written comments to: Construction Industries Division, – Regulation and Licensing Department, 5500 San Antonio Drive NE, Suite F, Albuquerque, NM 87109, Attention: Public Comments. Written comments may also be faxed to (505) 765-5670 or submitted to Quindi Otero-Robertson at her email address: Quindi.Otero@rld.nm.gov.
All written comments must be received no later than 5:00 p.m., on Tuesday, January 2, 2024. You may also review submitted comments by requesting copies from Quindi Otero-Robertson at her email address above. Public comments will be posted on the division’s website (www.rld.nm.gov/construction-industries). Written comments may also be received by the Commission at the in-person hearing until the hearing is closed. All public comments received shall be admitted into the record during the public hearing.
If you require special accommodation to attend the hearing, please notify CID by phone, email, or fax, of such needs as soon as possible to ensure adequate accommodation. Telephone: (505) 546-2195. Email: Quindi.Otero@rld.nm.gov; Fax No. (505) 765-5670.
Dear Construction Industries Division,
I am writing to express my strong support for New Mexico?s adoption of the 2021 Energy Conservation Codes for buildings along with EV-ready requirements.
In addition to keeping up with the latest code updates to improve the energy efficiency of buildings, I support the additional proposal to require all new buildings be EV-ready, making it easier for homeowners, residents of multifamily units and users of commercial parking lots to charge their electric vehicles.
The codes call for most new construction to include EV chargers at 5% of parking spaces, and another 5 to 15%, depending on the building type, must have the electrical infrastructure to accommodate future chargers.
Modern energy codes are critical for creating a safe climate and energy savings through weatherization and more efficient heating and cooling equipment. Considering the passage of Clean Cars and Trucks standards and the commercial shift to EVs announced by major automakers, these are common-sense, forward-thinking steps.
I care deeply about the climate crisis and my children?s future. Stronger energy codes reduce climate pollution and other air pollutants, improving our families? health, all while lowering utility bills, so I have more money to contribute to our local economy.

Dear Construction Industries Division,
Detractors argue that charger infrastructure is expensive and that there are few electric vehicles on the road in NM. But it is cheaper to include infrastructure in new construction rather than adding it later. The number of EVs will continue to increase and including EV infrastructure in the building code will insure that EV charging ability advances as the number of EVs increases.

I oppose the proposed changes to 14.7.9 specifically Section
14.7.9.12 requiring designated spaces for EV charging. I do not support reducing the number of parking spaces and forcing local businesses to foot the bill. Consider the convenience factor as well. Does it make sense to sit in a parking spot for hours to charge your car when you run an errand at a local business, not only taking up a lot of your time but tying up the parking spot for other customers as well?
I also oppose 14.7.6 Section R404 D(2) requiring installation of electrical connections for EVs in residential construction. This is an extra cost the new home owners may not desire. At best, this should be an option
I also oppose the mandate to require auto dealers to offer for sale a minimum of 43% EV cars and 15 % of trucks by 2026 and 82% cars and 40-75% by 2034. This requirement is vastly impractical for NM residents, especially in rural areas. When you consider the higher costs of purchase and maintenance, reduced range, risk of battery fires, access to reliable charging stations, the environmental and human costs of mining the materials for battery production, and the impact on the existing electrical grid, owning an EV is not high on the list of consumers. No wonder dealer lots are packed with unsold EVs. If owning an EV is such a great thing, why is there a mandate?
