Preliminary Energy Costs and Savings Estimates: 2018 IECC Residential Requirements

This report provides preliminary estimates of the incremental costs and savings associated with the residential provisions of the 2018 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). The analysis is provided to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to help quantify the costs and savings impacts of the latest published edition of the IECC, the 2018 IECC. The resulting information aids in understanding the net costs and economic impacts associated with updated energy codes, which is typically of interest to adopting states and localities.

REScheck Technical Support

PNNL has developed REScheck compliance materials for three different editions of the MEC (CABO 1992, 1993, and 1995) and all editions of the IECC (ICC 1998, 1999, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2012, 2015, and 2018). However, per DOE policy (dated March 18, 2014), only IECC editions 2009, 2012, 2015, and 2018 are presently supported in the software with the long-term intent to support only the three most recent code cycle editions. This report explains the methodology used to develop version 4.6.5 of the REScheck software in order to support compliance determination for IECC editions 2009, 2012, 2015, and 2018.
