United States Ninth Circuit

In an action brought by a building industry association, individual builders and contractors, challenging a 2009 state Building Code requirement that new building construction meet heightened energy conservation goal, the district court's ruling upholding the 2009 state requirement is affirmed, where the state has satisfied the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), 42 U.S.C. sections 6295 et seq., conditions, and therefore is not preempted by federal law.
