OREGON ENERGY CODES
Non-Residential and Residential
Energy Symbol
The state of Oregon's code requirements for energy conservation are contained in its statewide building codes.  Building codes are adopted as statewide codes which are enforced at city, county or state level.  The governing building jurisdiction varies throughout Oregon.  If a city chooses to not have a local building department, the county can take that role.  If a county chooses to not have a local building department, the state has building jurisdiction.
 
Oregon has amended the ICBO Uniform Building Code and calls that amended document "Oregon Structural Specialty Code" (Structural Code).  Oregon has amended the CABO One- and Two-Family Dwelling Code and calls that amended document "Oregon One- and Two-Family Dwelling Specialty Code" (Dwelling Code).
