Strengthened 2009 IECC and Green Building Standard Take Effect in Georgia
On January 1, the 2009 Georgia State Minimum Standard Energy Code became effective statewide. Approved by the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) Board on November 3, the state has adopted the 2009 IECC with 2011 Georgia Amendments (including mandatory blower door testing) as a minimum code and the 2008 National Green Building Standard (NGBS) with 2011 Georgia Amendments as a permissive code.
Statewide training for the new 2009 Georgia State Minimum Standard Energy Code is coming soon. The training will include the residential and commercial requirements of the 2009 IECC with 2011 Georgia Supplements and Amendments and the Duct and Envelope Tightness (DET) Verifier Training as well. For more information and updates on the time and location when this training will become available stay tuned to the DCA website at: http://www.dca.ga.gov/development/constructioncodes.
