Building Codes Assistance Project

Ohio's rules adopting the 2006 IECC for one-, two-, and three-family dwellings have been amended to revert back to the 2003 IECC until further study of the 2006 IECC can be completed.

On March 31, 2008, Ohio's Governor signed an Executive Order authorizing the Ohio Board of Building Standards to file four Emergency Rules that essentially role back the reference to the 2003 IECC effective immediately. This change only applies to one-, two-, and three-family dwellings. All non-residential buildings will still be required to comply with either the 2006 IECC or the 2004 ASHRAE 90.1.
