Make Your Voice Heard on Modifications to the Performance Method of the International Energy Conservation Code

Partially in response to a letter from RESNET, Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) (posted on RESNET's web site at http://www.natresnet.org/iecc_doe.htm), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has agreed to consider an alternative to their proposed residential IECC code change.  The proposed alternative, which was written with input from RESNET, NRDC, ACEEE and others, is posted on the DOE Codes web site as Alternative B.  If accepted by DOE, this alternative could result in significant improvements to the original DOE proposal (Alternative A) as it would provide for a robust performance compliance alternative that also could be considered for adoption by RESNET during its Standards amendment process.  DOE is now seeking comments on these alternative proposals, however, the DOE comment period has only one more week (until March 7, 2003), and RESNET urges all interested parties to go to the DOE Codes web site (http://www.energycodes.gov/implement/doe_2004_proposals.stm) as soon as possible and read and comment on these alternatives.
