provided that such local building regulations are not inconsistent with
the code. Nor shall anything in this article be construed as abrogating
or impairing the power of any municipality to promulgate a local energy

but not limited to requirements for mandatory energy efficiency testing
and ratings.
2. Any municipality which adopts a local energy conservation
construction code in accordance with this section shall file a copy of
such code and any amendments or revisions thereof with the state fire
prevention and building code council within thirty days after
promulgation or adoption of such local code or any amendments or

building code council shall determine that such local code, amendment or
revision is not more restrictive than the code. If the municipality
fails to file such copy within such thirty day time period, the
municipality may not enforce such local code, amendment or revision
until and unless the state fire prevention and building code council
shall determine that such local code, amendment or revision is more
