Ohio JCARR Approves Commercial Model Code Update
On March 7, the Ohio legislature’s Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review (JCARR) approved a January 21 recommendation of the Ohio Board of Building Standards (BBS) to update the state’s commercial energy code.
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.
