IECC Energy Code Compliance
AI verification of International Energy Conservation Code requirements.
Definition
IECC Energy Code Compliance AI verifies commercial and residential buildings meet the International Energy Conservation Code. It analyzes building envelope, mechanical systems, service water heating, and lighting against prescriptive and performance path requirements for energy code compliance.
In Depth
Energy code compliance verification involves checking the building envelope (insulation values, window performance, air leakage), lighting (power density limits, mandatory controls), and mechanical systems (equipment efficiency, economizers, energy recovery) against the applicable IECC or ASHRAE 90.1 requirements for the project's climate zone.
The climate zone mapping determines which efficiency requirements apply — a building in Climate Zone 5A (Chicago) has different insulation requirements than the same building in Climate Zone 3A (Atlanta). AI maintains the climate zone data and applies the correct requirements automatically, preventing the common error of using wrong-zone requirements from a previous project in a different location.
