Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
OACSIM Issues Guidance Regarding ASHRAE Standards for UEPH
On 4 December 2006, DOE published interim energy conservation policy in the Federal Register . EPAct 2005 states that low-rise buildings are to follow the 2004 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). EPAct 2005 also states that high-rise buildings (e.g., 4 stories and higher) must follow ASHRAE Standard 90.1. OACSIM policy establishes that the single energy efficiency standard for ALL new construction, regardless of building height, be 30% better than ASHRAE 90.1 as set forth by the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
