| The Model Energy Code was originally developed jointly by the Building Officials and Code Administrators International (BOCA), International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO), National Conference of States on Building Codes and Standards (NCSBCS), and the Southern Building Code Congress International (SBCCI), under a contract funded by the United States Department of Energy.
This comprehensive energy code establishes minimum regulations for energy efficient buildings using prescriptive and performance-related provisions. It is founded on broad-based principles that make possible the use of new materials and innovative techniques that conserve energy. |
