Building Codes Assistance Project

In 2007, the Texas State Energy Conservation Office (SECO) received authority from Texas Legislators (Senate Bill 12 and House Bill 3693 of the 80th Legislature Session-2007) to adopt by rule the latest published edition of the IECC and the IRC, after written recommendations from ESL and publish for public review and comments. The bills took effect on September 1, 2007.

With anticipation of the 2009-IECC, SECO plans to bypass the 2006-IECC/IRC to ensure adoption of the most current edition of the IECC or IRC. SECO is equipped with a process for adoption once the new edition is released.
