I believe the correct time to look into the code and make corrections was before the council voted on it a year ago.
On a funny side note the council actually bragged about passing this ordinance in the 2008-2009 Annual Report.
NOTEWORTHY ORDINANCES ENACTED
Ordinance No. 09-48 amended Chapter 5, Article 2 of the Hawai‘i
County Code 1983 (2005 Edition, as amended), relating to building
energy efficiency standards. Repealed Division 1-14 of Chapter 5,
Article 2 and replaced with the provisions with the 2006 International
Energy Conservation Code, March 2007 Edition, as amended. This
enables the County to meet national and international energy
standards, and to ensure residential and commercial buildings be
energy efficient.
