Building Codes Assistance Project

Efforts are currently underway to incorporate the 2006 IECC with state-specific amendments into the State of Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code (UDC). COMM 22 of the current state-developed Uniform Dwelling Code is applicable to 1 & 2 family dwellings and meets 1995 MEC requirements.

The final code change proposal (see COMM 22 beginning on page 66) was sent to the State Legislature for approval on August 27, 2008. If approved, the code change could be implemented in the spring of 2009.
