Energy Conservation Consensus Committees

The IECC uses the approved ICC Consensus Procedures for its development. Separate consensus committees oversee the development of the IECC Commercial and Residential provisions.

The IECC Residential committee also oversees the Energy Efficiency provisions in Chapter 11 of the IRC and its energy related appendices. With the publishing of the 2024 IECC the code will go into continuous maintenance with publication every three years.
