Title
Consider adopting Ordinance No. 3407 adopting the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code as amended; and take appropriate action.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The City has been and is currently using the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code since March of 2014. Model construction codes such as the IECC are updated and re-published on a three year cycle. Staff is recommending updating to the most current edition, the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code. One notable change to the 2015 IECC is separate chapters dealing with existing buildings were created inside the commercial and residential provisions. The State of Texas has not only recognized the 2015 IECC, but has made it required statewide. Currently, all of our neighboring municipalities have adopted and are enforcing the 2015 IBC with the exception of the City of Coppell and the Town of Addison.
