Independence Day Help Desk StaffingThe Building Energy Codes Program will have reduced staffing July 4 – July 8, 2024 for the Independence Day holiday weekend. Response times may be delayed. Please expect to receive responses after July 8, 2024.
The 2009 IECC requires that a minimum of 50% of the lamps in permanently installed lighting fixtures be high-efficacy lamps (2009 IECC, Section 404.1). The 2012 IECC has increased the minimum percentage from 50% to 75%, along with an exception for low-voltage lighting (2012 IECC, Section R404.1).
REScheck currently does not have a lighting input function; therefore, the lighting requirement should be confirmed under the Requirements Tab in the program.
