International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)

The International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) is a set of regulations designed to promote energy efficiency in buildings. Established by the International Code Council, it lays out standards for how buildings should be constructed and maintained to reduce energy use, including heating, cooling, and lighting. The code covers various aspects, such as insulation, windows, and HVAC systems, ensuring that structures use energy more efficiently. By adopting the IECC, communities aim to lower energy consumption, cut utility costs, and minimize environmental impact, ultimately leading to more sustainable living environments.
