Illinois Energy Conservation Code Rules

On June 11th, the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) meeting considered the rules for the Illinois Energy Conservation Code. Members of the JCAR voted to remove the prohibition status of the rules and approve them. These approved rules include amendments reinserted after the May 14th Capital Development Board meeting. The rules do not include the definition of Roof Membrane Peel and Replacement. They also do not include the associated exceptions in both the commercial and residential sections C503.1 and R503.1.

Rules Effective July 1, 2019

As of July 1, 2019, the Illinois Energy Conservation Code based on the 2018 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) took effect. Any new construction permits dated on or after July 1st are subject to this edition of the energy code. The Capital Development Board has published the specific amendments for Illinois.
