The 2009 International Residential Code （2009年国际住宅代码）.pdf

The 2009 International Residential Code and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Updated September 23, 2009 Background Recovery Act. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 requires that the Secretary shall make grants under Section 410 in excess of the base allocation established for a State under regulations issued pursuant to the authorization provided in section 365(f) of such Act. But this is only to be done if the governor of the recipient State notifies the Secretary of Energy in writing that the governor has obtained necessary assurances including that the State, or the applicable units of local government that have authority to adopt building codes, will implement a building energy code (or codes) for residential buildings that meets or exceeds the [2009] International Energy Conservation Code, or achieves equivalent or greater energy savings. State Applications. The March 21, 2009, Financial Assistance Funding Opportunity Announcement requires a two step process: an initial application and a comprehensive application. The initial application, due March 23, 2009, requires the inclusion of the Governor’s assurances required by Section 410 of the Recovery Act. In the second step of the process a State must provide a discussion of the progress it has made in meeting the Governor’s assurances. The 2009 IRC is Not Equivalent to the 2009 IECC. At the International Code Council’s Final Action Hearings that produced the 2009 edition of the International Residential Code, a number of significant proposals which won approval for inclusion in the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code, did not win approval for or were not proposed for inclusion in the International Residential Code. Additionally, there are several other differences between the two codes. All differences are listed below.
