6、fileComposite Default screenPREFACEIntroductionInternationally, code officials recognize the need for a modern, up-to-date energy conservation code addressing the design ofenergy-efficient building envelopes and installation of energy efficient mechanical, lighting and power systems through require-
7、ments emphasizing performance. The International Energy Conservation Code, in this 2009 edition, is designed to meet theseneeds through model code regulations that will result in the optimal utilization of fossil fuel and nondepletable resources in all com-munities, large and small.This comprehensiv
8、e energy conservation code establishes minimum regulations for energy efficient buildings using prescriptiveand performance-related provisions. It is founded on broad-based principles that make possible the use of new materials and newenergy efficient designs. This 2009 edition is fully compatible w
9、ith all the International Codes(I-Codes) published by the Inter-national Code Council (ICC), including: the International Building Code, International Existing Building Code, InternationalFire Code, International Fuel Gas Code, International Mechanical Code, ICC Performance Code, International Plumb
10、ingCode, International Private Sewage Disposal Code, International Property Maintenance Code, International ResidentialCode, International Wildland-Urban Interface Code and International Zoning Code.The International Energy Conservation Code provisions provide many benefits, among which is the model
11、 code developmentprocess that offers an international forum for energy professionals to discuss performance and prescriptive code requirements. Thisforum provides an excellent arena to debate proposed revisions. This model code also encourages international consistency in theapplication of provision
12、s.DevelopmentThe first edition of the International Energy Conservation Code (1998) was based on the 1995 edition of the Model Energy Codepromulgated by the Council of American Building Officials (CABO) and included changes approved through the CABO CodeDevelopment Procedures through 1997. CABO assi
13、gned all rights and responsibilities to the International Code Council and itsthree statutory members at that time, including Building Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA), Interna-tional Conference of Building Officials (ICBO) and Southern Building Code Congress Internationa
14、l (SBCCI). This 2014 Oregonedition presents the code as originally issued, with changes reflected in the 2000, 2003, 2006 and 2009 editions and selected addi-tional changes approved through the ICC Code Development Process through 2013. A new edition such as this is promulgated everythree years.This
15、 code is founded on principles intended to establish provisions consistent with the scope of an energy conservation code thatadequately conserves energy; provisions that do not unnecessarily increase construction costs; provisions that do not restrict the useof new materials, products or methods of
16、construction; and provisions that do not give preferential treatment to particular types orclasses of materials, products or methods of construction.AdoptionThe International Energy Conservation Code is available for adoption and use by jurisdictions internationally. Its use within a gov-ernmental j
17、urisdiction is intended to be accomplished through adoption by reference in accordance with proceedings establishingthe jurisdictions laws. At the time of adoption, jurisdictions should insert the appropriate information in provisions requiring spe-cific local information, such as the name of the ad
18、opting jurisdiction. These locations are shown in bracketed words in small capitalletters in the code and in the sample ordinance. The sample adoption ordinance on page vii addresses several key elements of a codeadoption ordinance, including the information required for insertion into the code text
19、.MaintenanceThe International Energy Conservation Code is kept up to date through the review of proposed changes submitted by code enforc-ing officials, industry representatives, design professionals and other interested parties. Proposed changes are carefully consideredthrough an open code developm
20、ent process in which all interested and affected parties may participate.The contents of this work are subject to change both through the Code Development Cycles and the governmental body thatenacts the code into law. For more information regarding the code development process, contact the Code and
21、Standard Develop-ment Department of the International Code Council.While the development procedure of the International Energy Conservation Code assures the highest degree of care, ICC, itsmembers and those participating in the development of this code do not accept any liability resulting from comp
22、liance or noncom-pliance with the provisions because ICC and its members do not have the power or authority to police or enforce compliance withthe contents of this code. Only the governmental body that enacts the code into law has such authority.2014 OREGON ENERGY EFFICIENCY SPECIALTY CODE iii1M:Co

27、that regulates minimum energy conservation requirementsfor new buildings. The IECC addresses energy conservation requirements for all aspects of energy uses in both commercial and resi-dential construction, including heating and ventilating, lighting, water heating, and power usage for appliances an
28、d building sys-tems.The IECC is a design document. For example, before one constructs a building, the designer must determine the minimum insula-tion R-values and fenestration U-factors for the building exterior envelope. Depending on whether the building is for residential useor for commercial use,
29、 the IECC sets forth minimum requirements for exterior envelope insulation, window and door U-factors andSHGC ratings, duct insulation, lighting and power efficiency, and water distribution insulation.Arrangement and Format of the 2009 IECCBefore applying the requirements of the IECC it is beneficia
30、l to understand its arrangement and format. The IECC, like other codespublished by ICC, is arranged and organized to follow sequential steps that generally occur during a plan review or inspection. TheIECC is divided into five different parts:Chapters Subjects12 Administration and definitions3 Clima
31、te zones and general materials requirements4 Energy efficiency for residential buildings5 Energy efficiency for commercial buildings6 Referenced standardsThe following is a chapter-by-chapter synopsis of the scope and intent of the provisions of the International Energy ConservationCode:Chapter 1 Ad
32、ministration. This chapter contains provisions for the application, enforcement and administration of subsequentrequirements of the code. In addition to establishing the scope of the code, Chapter 1 identifies which buildings and structures comeunder its purview. Chapter 1 is largely concerned with
33、maintaining “due process of law” in enforcing the energy conservation crite-ria contained in the body of the code. Only through careful observation of the administrative provisions can the building official rea-sonably expect to demonstrate that “equal protection under the law” has been provided.Cha
34、pter 2 Definitions. All terms that are defined in the code are listed alphabetically in Chapter 2. While a defined term may beused in one chapter or another, the meaning provided in Chapter 2 is applicable throughout the code.Additional definitions regarding climate zones are found in Tables 301.3(1
35、) and (2). These are not listed in Chapter 2.Where understanding of a terms definition is especially key to or necessary for understanding of a particular code provision, theterm is show in italics wherever it appears in the code. This is true only for those terms that have a meaning that is unique
36、to the code.In other words, the generally understood meaning of a term or phrase might not be sufficient or consistent with the meaning pre-scribed by the code; therefore, it is essential that the code-defined meaning be known.Guidance regarding tense, gender and plurality of defined terms as well a
37、s guidance regarding terms not defined in this code isprovided.Chapter 3 Climate Zones. Chapter 3 specifies the climate zones that will serve to establish the exterior design conditions. In addi-tion, Chapter 3 provides interior design conditions that are used as a basis for assumptions in heating a
38、nd cooling load calculations,and provides basic material requirements for insulation materials and fenestration materials.Climate has a major impact on the energy use of most buildings. The code establishes many requirements such as wall and roofinsulation R-values, window and door thermal transmitt
39、ance requirement (U-factors) as well as provisions that affect the mechani-cal systems based upon the climate where the building is located. This chapter will contain the information that will be used to prop-erly assign the building location into the correct climate zone and will then be used as th
40、e basis for establishing requirements orelimination of requirements.Chapter 4 Residential Energy Efficiency. Chapter 4 contains the energy-efficiency-related requirements for the design and con-struction of residential buildings regulated under this code. It should be noted that the definition of a
41、residential building in this codeis unique for this code. In this code, a residential building is an R-2, R-3 or R-4 building three stories or less in height. All otherbuildings, including residential buildings greater than three stories in height, are regulated by the energy conservation requiremen
42、tsof Chapter 5. The applicable portions of a residential building must comply with the provisions within this chapter for energy effi-ciency.

Chapter 5 contains the energy-efficiency-related requirements for the design and con-struction of most types of commercial buildi
45、ngs and residential buildings greater than three stories in height above grade. Residen-tial buildings, townhouses and garden apartments three stories or less in height are covered in Chapter 4. Like Chapter 4, this chapterdefines requirements for the portions of the building and building systems th

The provisions withinthe chapter promote energy efficiency in the building envelope, the heating and cooling system and the service wate
47、r heating systemof the building.Chapter 6 Referenced Standards. The code contains numerous references to standards that are used to regulate materials andmethods of construction. Chapter 6 contains a comprehensive list of all standards that are referenced in the code. The standards arepart of the co
48、de to the extent of the reference to the standard. Compliance with the referenced standard is necessary for compliancewith this code. By providing specifically adopted standards, the construction and installation requirements necessary for compli-ance with the code can be readily determined. The bas

It lists all of the referenced standards, alphabeti-cally, by acronym of the promulgating agency of the standard. Each agencys standards are then listed in either alphabetical ornumeric order based upon the standard identification. The list also
