(1) No building permit shall be issued for the construction or renovation of any residential buildings in any area under the jurisdiction of a local government on or after October 1, 1977, unless such construction or renovation will conform to the provisions of this article. The local building inspector shall inspect all places not inspected by the division of housing pursuant to part 7 of article 32 of title 24, C.R.S., to determine whether such places are in compliance with the insulation standards required by this article.
(2) Nothing in this article shall be construed to restrict or limit the authority of a county or municipality to adopt and enforce standards for efficient construction and renovation which are no less stringent than the standards contained in section 6-7-105. Any county or municipality adopting such standards may accept computations submitted by a licensed architect or licensed engineer that the design of the proposed building meets or exceeds the locally adopted energy efficiency standards.
