The Tennessee State Fire Marshal’s Office will implement enforcement of adopted energy codes for new building project submissions as of Friday, July 1, 2011. The energy codes adopted are:

• All buildings other than state buildings: The 2006 International Energy Conservation Code
• State buildings: ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007.

This report describes solutions to the common PRM adoption challenges, including calculating energy savings by fuel type and electricity demand savings relative to current code and avoiding “fuel switching” when reporting savings of the proposed design relative to the current code. The calculations described in this technical support document are automated in the ASHRAE Standard 90.1 Performance Based Compliance Form and the Compliance Form Companion Tool

This project was initiated because of the state of Florida desire to review provisions of its proposed 7th Edition (2020) Florida Energy Code (FEC) for commercial buildings in order to make a determination if it meets or performs better than ASHRAE 90.1-2016 code. For this purpose the proposed code modifications were reviewed and quantitatively analyzed.

This letter hereby to certifies that the State of Oregon has adopted the 2023 Oregon Residential Specialty Code (ORSC with energy efficiency provisions exceeding those of the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code ( I C C ) for low-rise residential buildings.

This is to certify that the State of New York intends to adopt an updated version of the State Energy Conservation Construction Code (the “NYS Energy Code”) and the State of New York is seeking an extension from the Secretary pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §6833(c) in light of the fact that the State has made a good faith effort to comply with such requirements and has made significant progress in doing so. The updated version of the NYS Energy Code is anticipated to become effective in 2025.

With regard to commercial buildings, the Department of State has reviewed the provisions of the State’s commercial building code regarding energy efficiency and seeks an extension of time to update the NYS Energy Code’s provisions to meet or exceed the requirements of ASHRAE 90.1-2019 for eighteen (18) months or until January 28, 2025.
