What is the relationship between ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-1989/1999, the Model Energy Code, and the IECC?
Since the early 1970s, ASHRAE has developed standards for commercial building energy use. Model code organizations have incorporated these standards into the Model Energy Code (MEC) and the IECC. The MEC codes were developed and maintained by the Council of American Building Officials (CABO). With the advent of the International Code Council (ICC), the task of maintaining the MEC codes was passed to the ICC and resulted in the release of the two IECC codes. The first edition was released in 1998 and updated in 2000, 2001, 2003, and 2006.
