Texas SECO to Begin Update Process for 2012 IECC
In December, the Texas Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) sent the State Energy Conservation Office (SECO) an official letter analyzing the 2012 IECC and the 2012 IRC Chapter 11. The ESL found that the 2012 IECC codes were significantly more efficient than the 2009 IECC and IRC Chapter 11 adopted by the State of Texas for both residential and commercial buildings. With this letter, SECO will begin a rulemaking process in 2012 to consider adopting the 2012 IECC.The letter is posted on the Texas Building Energy Code section of the SECO website.
A report on building energy codes programs in Texas was featured in an article in the New York Times.
