New York Code Council Approves Code Based on 2009 IECC & 90.1-2007
On December 16, the New York State Uniform Fire and Building Code Council moved a proposal to update the state energy code onto the final stages of the state’s regulatory process. The proposed 2010 Energy Conservation Construction Code of New York State would be based on the 2009 IECC and ASHRAE 90.1-2007 (the current ECCCNYS is based on the 2004 IECC supplement and ASHRAE 90.1-2004). The proposed regulations must still be published in the NYS Register and be subject to a 45-day public comment period and public hearings (the first of which could come in early March). The New York Department of State (NYS-DOS) hopes to implement the new energy code by the end of this year.
