2024 International Energy Conservation Code (International Code Council Series) 1st Edition

2024 International Energy Conservation Code (International Code Council Series) 1st Edition

The 2024 IECC aims to make buildings more energy efficient by focusing on reducing energy costs, using less energy overall, and helping people use natural resources more wisely. These guidelines help build better-performing buildings that save energy and stay affordable in the long run.

In addition to saving money, the code also looks at how energy is made and used from an environmental perspective.
By encouraging good design and sustainable practices, the 2024 IECC helps protect the environment and promote the responsible use of resources for future generations.

The 2024 International Codes® (I-Codes®) have gone through big changes in how they look because of the International Code Council® (ICC®) digital transformation plan. These changes make it easier for users to read and understand the codes. The updates include:

– Using a single column layout and new, modern fonts to make reading easier.

– Replacing vertical sidebars and arrows with QR codes to show code changes more clearly.

– Using shading on table headers and notes to help find tables and notes faster.

– Putting related tables and figures right after the part of the code they are connected to.

– Letting users check if their book is real and register it with the ICC to get rewards.

The 2024 International Existing Building Code® (IEBC®) encourages people to use and improve old buildings.
It covers fixing, changing, adding to, or changing how a building is used. It also covers historic buildings and helps keep them safe without requiring them to meet all the rules for new buildings in other I-Codes. Key updates in the 2024 IEBC® are:

– Occupiable roofs: Rules about using roofs for people have been added in different parts of the code to match the IBC.

– Storm shelters: The rules for storm shelters have been updated to match changes in the IBC and ICC 500.
It also clearly states that these shelters must meet IBC Section 423 and ICC 500.
– Risk categories: It gives clear guidance on assigning risk levels for structural designs when the new part of a building and the existing part are used differently.
This applies to both the Prescriptive and Work Area methods.
– Smoke compartments: Some buildings, like Group I-1, condition 2 occupancies and ambulatory care buildings, might need to split stories into at least two smoke compartments if there are big changes or additions.

– Adult changing stations: If new toilets are added and IBC Section 1110.4.1 requires adult changing stations, Section 306.7.15 says one accessible family or assisted use toilet room must be included.

– Sprinkler systems: Section 309.2.1 requires that high-rise buildings with combustible wall coverings must have sprinklers throughout.
There are exceptions for smaller buildings or when only a water resistive barrier is used.
