Commercial


Energy Code Now in Effect

As of August 17, 2007 the New Hampshie Energy Code has become the International Energy Conservation Code 2006 (IECC 2006).

There is a new application for use by residences and commercial structures under 4000 square feet. This application is available for download above.

If you wish to use the software approach to prove compliance of commercial structures with the code only COMcheck version 3.5.2 with the “Code” set to “ New Hampshire” may be used.
 

NOTE: Any project to be constructed in New Hampshire must meet the requirements of Climate Zone 6 per amendment of the Building Code Review Board. See: http://www.nh.gov/safety/boardsandcommissions/bldgcode/meetings/documents/min101207.pdf


The Commercial Energy Code is now IECC 2006. (Chapter 5 also refers to ASHREA 90.1-2004). To demonstrate compliance use COMcheck Software Version 3.5.2 with the “Code” set to “New Hampshire”. Submit the COMcheck printout to the municipality where construction is planned.

The Public Utilities Commission does not issue commercial energy code permits for structures greater than 4,000 sq. ft. Small commercial under 4,000 sq. ft. may use the residential energy code EC-1 form.
