Iowa -- Assessment of Impacts from Updating Iowa’s Residential Energy Code to Comply with the 2003 International Energy Conservation Code

Iowa’s Department of Natural Resources requested that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) compare the 1992 Model Energy Code with the 2003 International Energy Code to estimate impacts from updating Iowa's residential energy code to comply with the new code. Under DOE's direction, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) completed an assessment of the impacts from this potential code upgrade, including impacts on construction and energy consumption costs. This report is an update to a similar report completed by PNNL in 2002 that compared the 1992 MEC to the 2000 IECC.
