South Carolina Council to Recommend 2009 IECC Adoption to Legislative Committee
On November 28, the Energy Advisory Council (EAC) of the South Carolina Public Utility Review Committee (PURC) voted unanimously to recommend adoption of the 2009 IECC. Should the full PURC concur, it will recommend that the Public Utility Review Committee of the South Carolina Legislature update the current code (referencing the 2006 IECC) in early 2012 with a planned effective date for January 1, 2013. The South Carolina Home Builders Association has tentatively identified a legislative sponsor.
The South Carolina Building Code Council has also begun to review of the 2012 family of I-codes. Recent investigation and analysis by Mathis Consulting Company for the 2012 IECC for South Carolina showed cost effective and significant energy and peak power benefits to the state.
BCAP also recently completed its South Carolina Strategic Compliance Plan as part of its Compliance Planning Assistance (CPA) Program.
