John,

 

OOOP's

you asked for a link--try 

 http://www.co.washoe.nv.us for Washoe County page 19 & 20.  See remarks on Rammed Earth too.

 

http://www.leg.state.nv.us/70th/bills/SB/SB216_R1.html for Clark County

 

See http://www.leg.state.nv.us/68th/minutes/AGA315.txt   for the discussion on the bill (three little pigs and all)

 

Nevada is under ICBO with ref to UBC 104.2.8 and  will probably apply to all Nevada Counties with minor modifications

 

 

 

This is a good Q & A site for what state has codes and which  do  not  http://www.steelframingalliance.com/codes/intro.html  local counties and cities within the states may have codes--be careful

 

This company currently has a number of straw bale projects in work in Nevada http://www.vanderryn.com

Dearest Desert Baleheads,

 

We have a link on our site to the Nevada bale code that seems to be, well, lets say the code is lost somewhere in the legislative soup.  Does anyone have a correct link, or at least the current gossip about the Great State of Nevada?

 

John

In reference to your link on SB codes in Nevada:

http://www.skillful-means.com/strawbale/codes.htm

Nevada Code mandate:
AB171, Straw Bale Guidelines from State Legislature, Rm 101, Legislative Bldg., 401 S. Carson St., Carson City, NV 89710 ...
 

Reply from my client:

Here's what's happened so far. Lisa and I went to the state legislature and looked up your reference -- AB171, Straw Bale Guidelines from State Legislature, Rm 101, Legislative Bldg., 401 S. Carson Street, Carson City, NV 89710. When I asked for AB 171 she gave me a stray animal bill from the 2001 legislative session titled AB 171. It seems the bill number, 171, simply refers to what order a certain legislative bill appears for a vote. One seventy-one occurs over and over with each legislative year.  Then, I said I was looking for building codes pertaining to straw bale construction. The only thing she could find was a bill that spoke primarily to commercial building companies on using straw bales for  government buldings (state, county, municipal, etc.). There was nothing on straw bale codes for residential construction. We spend probably 40 or 45 minutes looking and that was the only thing on record.
 

Any ideas on finding residential SB codes for Nevada ???
