"An energy code, based on the widely used ASHRAE standards, will be an
important element of this full set of codes," said George D. Miller,
president of NFPA. "As a result of this agreement, state and local
governments that adopt our codes set will have in place the latest advances
in heating, refrigeration, cooling, and lighting design, resulting in
significant energy savings."
The resulting Energy Code will incorporate the 2001 editions of the 90.1 and
90.2, and reflect any updates or addenda to those standards. The code will
apply to all buildings, including low-rise residential structures.
