The new 2006 Uniform Solar Energy Code!
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.

  • The Uniform Plumbing Code sections in this code are taken from the 2003 edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code.
  • The Uniform Mechanical Code sections in this code are taken from the 2003 edition of the Uniform Mechanical Code.
