New Supplement makes it easy to reference energy code changes

A donation from the Responsible Energy Codes Alliance, Chairman Eric DeVito (right), to the International Code Council Foundation, Government Relations Senior Advisor Dave Conover, underwrote the distribution of the new International Energy Conservation Code 2004 Supplement to International Code Council governmental members. The publication updates all changes to the 2003 code and is suitable for adoption.

Code officials no longer need to carry a copy of the Accumulative Supplement to reference changes to the 2003 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). The new IECC 2004 Supplement Edition puts the latest set of energy provisions published by the International Code Council in one document.

The International Code Council Foundation (ICCF) and Responsible Energy Codes Alliance (RECA) teamed up to create the publication. It makes it easier for code officials, design professionals and builders to apply energy conservation requirements to construct more energy efficient homes and buildings.

Revisions to the 2003 IECC during the code development cycle included eliminating four chapters (5, 6, 7 and 9) and the appendix. The new IECC 2004 Supplement, suitable for adoption by jurisdictions, incorporates all code changes to the 2003 IECC.

The Supplement was distributed free to International Code Council governmental members through a RECA donation to the ICCF. To purchase a copy of the International Energy Conservation Code 2004 Supplement Edition, click here or call 1-888-ICC-SAFE (422-7233).
