Heating and Cooling Installation in Baldwinsville, NY
Baldwinsville is the only municipality in this ledger with its own energy code, having adopted NYStretch 2020, and the village applies it to buildings that are altered, not just to new construction. Ask the village code office what it asks of your job before the equipment is ordered, because the answer differs from the rest of the county.

The one village here with an energy code of its own
Local Law No. 7 of 2022 adopted the State Energy Code as modified by NYStretch Energy Code 2020 as the village's local energy conservation construction code, applicable to buildings constructed, substantially renovated or altered in the village. The law's own text makes enforceability contingent on a filing and a Code Council determination, which this ledger has not traced, so treat it as a question for the village code office rather than a settled requirement at your address, and ask it early enough to matter. The village has separately adopted the like for like replacement exemption, so the permit answer turns on whether the proposed equipment keeps the same listing and specifications as what comes out. The housing is why the sizing work is worth more here than in a uniform neighborhood: a fifth of the village is prewar and a fifth was built this century, the highest new build share of any village in the county, so there is no default Baldwinsville house to reason from. A third of the village heats with electricity, twice the rate of the gas heavy eastern suburbs, and an electric heated house has no flue to resize and a different decision to make.

Local Law No. 7 of 2022 of the Village of Baldwinsville adopts, as the village's local energy conservation construction code, the State Energy Code as modified in the manner contemplated by NYStretch Energy Code 2020, Version 1.0, dated July 2019, published by NYSERDA. Section 3 of the local law states that the local energy conservation construction code shall be applicable to all buildings constructed, substantially renovated, or altered in the village on or after the effective date of the law, and to all additions made on or after that date.

Section 3 also records the Energy Law section 11-109(2) filing condition that governs whether and when the local code is enforceable.

The Village of Baldwinsville local law filed with the New York State Department of State states that a building permit shall be required for any work which must conform to the Uniform Code or the Energy Code, including the installation of a solid fuel burning heating appliance, chimney, or flue in any dwelling unit, and then lists the exemptions the village has adopted. They include installation of listed portable electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilation or cooling equipment or appliances, and replacement of any equipment provided the replacement does not alter the equipment's listing or render it inconsistent with the equipment's original specifications. The law adds that the exemption is not an authorization for work to be performed in violation of the Uniform Code or the Energy Code, and that no person shall commence work requiring a permit without first obtaining one from the Village Code Enforcement Officer.
