2009 International Energy Conservation Code Now In Effect In New Jersey

Permit Applicants Must Prove Compliance With New Energy Codes

The six-month grace period allowing compliance with previous energy conservation codes ends March 7, 2011, in favor of new codes.

Last September, New Jersey adopted two standards regarding energy conservation, each affecting different types of buildings:

• 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) for low-rise residential buildings (one- and two-family dwellings and multiple-family buildings three stories or less in height).
• American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 90.1 – 2007 for all other buildings, including commercial buildings, new buildings and their systems, new portions of buildings and their systems, and new systems and equipment in existing buildings.
