The International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) is a building code created by the International Code Council in 2000. It is a model code adopted by many states and municipal governments in the United States for the establishment of minimum design and construction requirements for energy efficiency .
[7] [22] In the 2021 IECC model code, for example, there are provisions that reference ASHRAE 90.1 concerning insulation R-values for opaque parts of the building envelope. [22] As another example, there are provisions in the IECC concerning the length, flow-rate, and insulation of piping as it relates to hot-water heaters in commercial ...

The Home Energy Rating is an American estimated measurement of a home's energy efficiency based on normalized modified end-use loads (nMEULs). [1] In the United States, the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) is responsible for creation and maintenance of the RESNET Mortgage Industry National Home Energy Rating Standards (MINHERS), a proprietary system of standards, [2] which includes ...
Green construction codes and standards are beginning to emerge on the national code stage. The standards go beyond energy standards such as ASHRAE 90.1 and the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) to cover additional areas such as site sustainability, water efficiency , indoor environmental quality and materials and resources.
Although insulation standards have been increasing, so has the standard of home heating. In 1970, only 31% of homes had central heating . By 2003 it had been installed in 92% of British homes, [ 11 ] leading in turn to a rise in the average temperature within them (from 12.1 °C to 18.20 °C). [ 12 ]
