Energy Efficiency Resource Standard:

Nevada does not have a standalone energy efficiency resource standard. SB 448 (2021) doubled investment in low income energy efficiency programs and directed NV Energy to expand demand side management offerings through its integrated resource plan.

Building Codes:

Nevada is a home rule state. The Nevada State Energy Office sets minimum standards under NRS 701.220 referencing the 2018 IECC; local jurisdictions may adopt more stringent versions. Clark County and the City of Las Vegas have adopted the 2018 IECC with amendments.

Appliance Standards:

In 2007, Nevada adopted energy efficiency requirements for incandescent lamps. This standard was exempt from federal preemption because it came before and was more stringent than the federal requirement. In 2019, legislation (AB 54) adopted new energy and water appliance standards for 12 appliances not preempted by federal appliance standards.
