Direct answer and reference scope

International Energy Conservation Code is presented here as a reference within the IECC 2009 collection for Pennsylvania. The 2009 International Energy Conservation Code, adopted into law under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Sets minimum energy-efficiency requirements for buildings. Use the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry 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 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.

Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code adopts the International Energy Conservation Code by reference; the 2009 IECC was the edition in force during its adoption period. It establishes energy-efficiency requirements for the building envelope, mechanical systems, lighting, and service water heating for both residential and commercial buildings.
