## Direct answer and reference scope

International Energy Conservation Code is presented here as a reference within the IECC 2009 collection for New Hampshire. The 2009 International Energy Conservation Code, adopted as part of the New Hampshire State Building Code under RSA 155-A. Use the [New Hampshire General Court, RSA 155-A](https://gc.nh.gov/rsa/html/xii/155-a/155-a-mrg.htm) to confirm the code edition currently adopted for the project, and compare the model text with state amendments, local amendments, effective dates and the permit authority's interpretation. The [ICC code library](https://codes.iccsafe.org/codes) is the model-code publication path. This Harth page is a searchable reference transcription, not an official code publication, legal opinion or confirmation that this edition controls a particular address. Record the project jurisdiction, application date, occupancy, construction type and amendment set before relying on a section. Where this page conflicts with an official publication or the authority having jurisdiction, the official source controls.

New Hampshire adopted the 2009 IECC as the energy provision of its statewide State Building Code under RSA 155-A, with New Hampshire amendments to the energy chapter. It covers minimum energy-efficiency requirements for the building envelope, mechanical systems, lighting, and service water heating.
