As a bunch of code readers...Does anyone read this and believe that requiring "pre-wiring" for electrical appliances and PV and EV charging belongs in the base code and not an Appendix....? Asking for a friend....
R101.3 Intent (Not subject to public input). The International Energy Conservation Code
- Residential Provisions provide market-driven, enforceable requirements for the design and
construction of residential buildings, providing minimum efficiency requirements for buildings that
result in the maximum level of energy efficiency that is safe, technologically feasible, and life cycle
cost effective, considering economic feasibility, including potential costs and savings for consumers
and building owners, and return on investment. Additionally, the code provides jurisdictions with
optional supplemental requirements, including requirements that lead to achievement of zero
energy buildings, presently, and, through glidepaths that achieve zeroenergy buildings by 2030
and on additional timelines sought by governments, and achievement of additional policy goals as
identified by the Energy and Carbon Advisory Council and approved by the Board of Directors.
The code may include non-mandatory appendices incorporating additional energy efficiency and
greenhouse gas reduction resources developed by the Code Council and others. Requirements
contained in the code will include, but not be limited to, prescriptive- and performance-based
pathways. The code will aim to simplify code requirements to facilitate the code’s use and
compliance rate. The code is updated on a three-year cycle with each subsequent edition providing
increased energy savings over the prior edition. The IECC residential provisions shall include
an update to Chapter 11 of the International Residential Code. This code is intended to provide
flexibility to permit the use of innovative approaches and techniques to achieve this intent. This
code is not intended to abridge safety, health or environmental requirements contained in other
