Wisconsin Commercial Code Update to 2009 IECC Effective Sept. 1
Code change proposals from the Wisconsin Department of Commerce to update the Wisconsin Commercial Building Code (Comm 61-66) to reference several 2009 I-Codes were automatically adopted on July 1. These include updating Comm 63 – Energy Conservation to incorporate the 2009 IECC with Wisconsin amendments (including an additional air barrier requirement similar to that of the 2012 IECC). The changes will become effective September 1, 2011.
Information on the update process for the residential requirements of the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code (Comm 22 – Energy Conservation) is available here.
NOTE: As of July 1, the Safety and Buildings Division of the Department of Commerce will begin the process of moving to the newly created Department of Safety and Professional Services.
