What are the Texas Energy Codes?
The Texas Energy Code has adopted Chapter 11 of the 2000 International Residential Code, which corresponds to Chapter 6 of the 2000 International Energy Conservation Code for single-family residential construction. Texas Senate Bills 365 and 5 effectively adopted the IRC state wide in Texas on September 1 last year. On September 1 this year, all municipalities are required to adopt and enforce Chapter 11 of the 2000 IRC / Chapter 6 of the 2000 IECC.
