The advantages of a Uniform Solar Energy Code, acceptable in the various
jurisdictions, have long been recognized. The increasing needs for such a code
induced the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials to
pass a resolution at its 46th Annual Business Conference, which directed the
president to form a committee to develop a basic solar energy document.
After months of concerted endeavor, this committee, composed of
representatives from industry and public utility companies, inspectors,
plumbers, and engineers, successfully completed the first edition of the
Uniform Solar Energy Code, which was officially adopted by the International
Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials in September 1976.
The use of this document is intended to provide a safe and functional solar
energy system with minimum regulations. Users of the Uniform Solar Energy Code
are urged to strive for not just the minimum good solar energy system, but to
keep the consumer in mind. With the exception of "high use and wear
portions" of the system, the solar energy system should have the same
life as other components of the building. 86 pp.
