New Mexico Implements 2006 IECC
On January 1, 2008, the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) went into effect with a six- month grace period to use either the new code or 2003 IECC. Commercial buildings are exempt and subject to ASHRAE 90.1-2004.
This rule applies to all contracting work performed in New Mexico on or after January 1, 2008, that is subject to the jurisdiction of the Construction Industries Division (CID), unless performed pursuant to a permit for which an application was received by CID before that date, except that commercial buildings, which comply with the requirements of the 2004 edition of ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1, are exempt from the requirements of this rule.
