As we begin the second month of the year hopefully we are all on pace with our New Years resolutions. Your resolution may be getting rid of an old bad habit and starting the year with a new one. Whether yours is related to your business or a personal goal for 2012, keep working toward your goal.

In our ever-changing industry this year will include some code changes in the near future. In the first quarter of 2012 Indiana plans to adopt a new energy code. This will vastly impact many facets of how we construct our homes today. The new energy code will bring about change and added expense to our homes. However, this new code will elevate the energy efficiency in our homes and give us a competitive advantage over the existing residential home market. How can this be? A newly constructed home will be more energy efficient than many of the existing homes on the market.

If you were not able to attend the local energy code seminars there is one scheduled for Monday February 27th, 2012 in Indianapolis. Please contact the Home Builders Association office for more information.

Respectfully,
Jamie Lancia
