Just Released: The Combined 2012 IECC/ASHRAE 90.1-2010

The International Code Council (ICC) and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) have collaborated to create a publication containing both the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code(IECC) and ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2010 Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings in one volume.

This book, containing the most up-to-date and innovative energy-efficiency requirements for both commercial and residential buildings, will help ensure newly built and renovated buildings are in compliance with the latest codes and standards. Combining these complementary documents improves convenience and lowers the purchasing cost for professionals who previously had to buy both code books. 

The 2012 IECC includes improved requirements for windows, doors, skylights, and HVAC systems. Additionally, by US Department of Energy estimates, the 2012 IECC will be 15% more energy-efficient than the 2009 edition. The ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2010 has been expanded to include a broader scope, more detailed requirements and changes from more than 100 addenda improving all four of the major building components: envelopes, mechanical systems, lighting systems and service water heating.  

To purchase a copy of the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and the ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2010 Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings as one publication, visit www.iccsafe.org/2012energy.
