2009 Michigan Uniform Energy Code Goes Live
Rules to update the 2009 Michigan Uniform Energy Code (MUEC), Part 10 (Residential) and Part 10a (Commercial) were filed with the Secretary of State on November 8 and will be effective March 9, 2011. The rules will adopt the 2009 IECC with Michigan amendments and ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007 (the MUEC is currently based on the 2003 IRC and ASHRAE 90.1-1999). The new codes were originally approved on July 20 by the Department of Energy, Labor & Economic Growth (DELEG) Bureau of Construction Codes.
A web link will be added to the Bureau’s web site at www.michigan.gov/bcc, via the Codes and Standards Order Form to allow customers to purchase the code book directly from the International Code Council (ICC) for $38.00. The Bureau expects books to be available mid-December. More Information: MUEC: Residential & Commercial | Bureau of Construction Codes ****
