International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) 2015

Introduced in 1998, the IECC addresses energy efficiency on several fronts including cost savings, reduced energy usage, conservation of natural resources and the impact of energy usage on the environment. Important changes in this 2015 edition include:

• Climate-appropriate alternative added for buildings located in Tropical Zones.
• In the residential provisions, the inclusion of the Energy Rating Index Compliance Alternative as another compliance path adds more flexibility to the IECC.
• Separate Chapters dealing with existing buildings were created in both IECC-Commercial and Residential Provisions.

To pass inspections and avoid violations, make sure that you order the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code.
