Building Energy Code

South Dakota does not have a statewide mandatory energy code, but if your local jurisdiction has adopted one, it will apply to new residential construction in your area. If you're buying or building a new single-family or multifamily home (four units or less), the builder or seller must provide you with an energy efficiency disclosure form for the property.

South Dakota has no statewide energy code requirement, though some local jurisdictions may have adopted codes (check with your county or municipality). State facilities are contractually required to meet ASHRAE 90.1-2007 standards; if you're bidding on state building projects, confirm which energy standard applies to your specific project.

South Dakota has no mandatory statewide building energy code—adoption and enforcement occur at the local (county or jurisdiction) level where codes have been voluntarily adopted. All state-owned facilities must contractually comply with ASHRAE 90.1-2007. The state provides a primary contact through the Energy Management Office to coordinate energy code information and technical assistance.
