2015 International Energy Conservation Code

The 2015 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), published by the International Code Council (ICC), establishes minimum design and construction requirements for energy efficiency in residential and commercial buildings. This code is one of the essential reference materials for contractors, builders, and design professionals preparing for licensing exams through 1 Exam Prep. The 2015 IECC addresses building envelope performance, HVAC systems, lighting, and renewable energy systems to promote uniform energy standards across jurisdictions. It is recognized by state and county contractor licensing boards, including the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), and is commonly used in exam prep for Building, Mechanical, and Energy-related contractor certifications.

For the most current information on energy conservation code requirements, refer to the 2015 INTERNATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION CODE. This highly beneficial resource fosters energy conservation through efficiency in envelope design, mechanical systems, lighting systems, and through the use of new materials and techniques. In the residential provisions, the inclusion of the Energy Rating Index Compliance Alternative as another compliance path adds more flexibility to the 2015 IECC. With this comprehensive and cutting edge coverage, it is a critical component of a user's code books.
