| The Model Energy Code (MEC) contains energy-related
building requirements applying to many new U.S. residences. The MEC was
previously maintained by the Council of American Building Officials (CABO),
which was comprised of three U.S. model code groups: the Building Officials
and Code Administrators, International (BOCA); the International Conference
of Building Officials (ICBO); and the Southern Building Code Congress International
(SBCCI). These groups subsequently combined into and "unbrella"
organization called the International Code Council (ICC). The ICC issued the 1998 MEC under a new name, the 1998 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). |
