The IECC is the nation’s model building energy code and is revised every three years. Online voting by ICC Governmental Member Voting Representatives is the culmination of years of work by numerous stakeholders and determines the content of the next version of the IECC. A voting guide, prepared by the Energy Efficient Codes Coalition, makes recommendations that, if passed, will put us on a glide path to Net Zero by 2050.
