MA's Board of Building Regulations and Standards (BBRS) has amended the code as of Jan. 1, 2010, requiring the use of the 2009 IECC with MA's amendments instead of the 2006 IECC. BBRS is allowing a six month concurrency period through June 1, 2010 during which either the 2006 IECC with 2007 Supplement and MA's amendments or the 2009 IECC and MA amendments may be used. When using REScheck, the 2009 IECC code option should be chosen for compliance. |
