Materials and Equipment | Residential | Building Code Officials Summary Requirements for residential materials and equipment are present to ensure that code officials have all of the relevant energy efficiency data needed to easily conduct plan reviews and inspections. These codes apply to materials for insulation, fenestration, and HVAC equipment, along with the installation and maintenance of each. This information is particularly important for code officials trying to make plan reviews and site inspections more efficient.
QUICK FACTS Materials and Equipment - Section 303 and briefly in 101.5.1 and 103.2 2009 IECC Must maintain up-to-date documentation for materials and equipment
Current Code
Thorough review of all lighting, HVAC, controls, and insulation

These requirements have not changed significantly in the past three editions of the IECC. The only difference is the addition in the 2009 IECC of 303.1.4 insulation product rating on p. 26. This section sites the Federal Trade Commission’s R-value rule (CFR Title 16 Part 460, May 31 2005) and units for determining the R-value of insulation.
