The attendees of the International Code Council’s (ICC) final action hearings held in Charlotte, North Carolina last month unanimously approved a package of revisions to the commercial section of the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). The changes states that “new and renovated buildings constructed in jurisdictions that follow the 2012 IECC will use 30 percent less energy than those built to current standards.”
The proposal was submitted jointly by New Building Institute (NBI), The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and is largely based on NBI’s Core Performance protocol.
