by Brianna Crandall — October 11, 2010—Free digital copies of the International Code Council’s 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) are now available thanks to funding provided by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
The funding is part of DOE’s initiative to meet nationwide energy-efficiency goals through its Building Technologies Program and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The national model energy code of choice for states, cities and counties that adopt codes, the IECC is referenced in federal law determined by Congress through the Energy Policy Act of 1992.
The 2009 IECC is also the target building energy code that all 50 governors agreed to achieve compliance with under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
