About the Energy Efficient Codes Coalition (EECC)

A diverse set of state and local governments, energy efficiency advocates, energy consumers, environmental groups and industry experts joined forces in mid-2007, creating the Energy Efficient Codes Coalition to mount a comprehensive, integrated effort to achieve an initial 30% boost in the energy efficiency of the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) over its 2006 counterpart. After seeing 55 out of its 80 recommendations and 13 of the 21 elements of its comprehensive proposal (“The 30% Solution”) adopted by the International Code Council (ICC)’s voting members at the ICC Final Action Hearings – producing energy efficiency gains estimated at national average of 12.2% or more – the EECC has begun work to consolidate its gains and achieve the remainder of the 30% goal in the 2010 IECC Supplement.
