2009 versus 2012 IECC MarylandAffordable Housing Coalition June 26th, 2012
2009 versus 2012 IECC • Overview • Reading the Code on Your Own • Compliance Paths • Low-rise Construction (Residential Code) • Envelope, Air-sealing, Mechanical • Mid-rise Construction (Commercial Code) • Envelope, Air-sealing, Mechanical, Electrical, Extras
2009 versus 2012 IECC Some aspects of 2012 have been relaxed Opportunities exist to cost-effectively implement aspects of 2012 The 2012 is ~ 10-15% more efficient than 2009 The 2012 is ~ 30% more efficient than 2006
2009 versus 2012 IECC Reading the Code • Must read chapter by hierarchy • Understand each section by its context • Like finding the best “grape” of knowledge

2009 versus 2012 IECC • Low-Rise, Wood-Framed Construction • Envelopes: Prescriptive by Measure
2009 versus 2012 IECC • Low-Rise, Wood-Framed Construction • Envelopes: Performance by Measure
2009 versus 2012 IECC If already using blown ceiling insulation and roof/ ceiling trusses are 24” O.C., then the project is nearly meeting this requirement. Only ½” extra needed. • Low-Rise, Wood-Framed Construction • Envelopes: Performance by Measure
2009 versus 2012 IECC • Low-Rise, Wood-Framed Construction • Envelopes: UA Alternative Compliance • Can exceed insulation on a component to trade-off for another • Example: 1000 Sqft House, over crawlspace
2009 versus 2012 IECC Mandatory Residential Measures OR Prescriptive Pathway Performance Pathway Two Generic Compliance Methods to either code
2009 versus 2012 IECC • Low-Rise, Wood-Framed Construction • Performance “Whole” building: Includes heating, cooling, and hot water LOADS. • HVAC efficiencies do not improve performance approach results • Variety of available energy models: commercial and public • RESCheck (free) • EnergyGauge • REMRate
