ASA IS YOUR VOICE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL MODEL CODES AND STANDARDS IMPACTING THE COST AND QUALITY OF PRODUCTS AND SYSTEMS YOU DELIVER TO YOUR CUSTOMERS

• Reimagining ICC Performance Code for Buildings and Facilities - The International Code Council is working with Brian Meacham, PhD, PE, an international expert in performance-based building control systems, to launch a process of reimagining the ICC Performance Code for Buildings and Facilities (ICCPC). To learn more about the initiative and how to participate, you can review the ICC Press Release. ASA's Jim Kendzel, Director of Codes and Standards will be participating and providing updates.
• DOE Offers Future of Energy Codes Workshop - The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Building Energy Codes Program will host a public meeting to highlight leading advancements in building energy codes and bring together energy efficiency stakeholders from across the building industry. The two-part stakeholder meeting will be held virtually on June 22 & 24, 2021 11AM – 2PM EDT.  Advanced registration is required.
• DOE Proposes Not to Revise Standards for Unfired Hot Water Storage Tanks - After carefully considering the available market and technical information for unfired hot water storage tanks (UFHWSTs), DOE has tentatively concluded in this document that it lacks clear and convincing evidence that more-stringent standards for UFHWSTs would save a significant additional amount of energy and would be economically justified. As such, DOE has initially determined that energy conservation standards for UFHWSTs do not need to be amended. DOE requests comment on this notification of proposed determination (NOPD), as well as the associated analyses and results.
• The 2021 Spring Code Hearings are complete. ASA was present as the voice of our members and the industry promoting our positions throughout the process. The work done during these hearings sets the foundation for the changes to the model codes that will be published in 2024.
