Ohio BBS Sets November 1 Effective Date for Nonresidential Code Update
The Ohio Board of Building Standards (BBS) has set a November 1, 2011 effective date for the code updates to the Ohio Building Code, Ohio Mechanical Code and the Ohio Plumbing Code. On March 7, the Ohio legislature’s Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review (JCARR) approved a January 21 BBS recommendation to update the state’s nonresidential energy standards.
Part D of Amendments Group LXXXIII (see items 14-21) would update the Ohio Building Code (OBC) to incorporate the 2009 International Building Code (IBC), including its references to the 2009 IECC and ASHRAE 90.1-2007 as compliances paths for energy efficiency for non-residential buildings (see page D-622, rule number 4101:1-13-01). The OBC currently references the 2006 IBC.
