Title
SECOND AND FINAL READING OF AN ORDINANCE REPEALING AND REPLACING CHAPTER 5, ARTICLE IV, DIVISION 9 OF THE COMMERCE CITY REVISED MUNICIPAL CODE WHICH DETAILS THE ADOPTION OF THE 2021 INTERNATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION CODE (IECC) WITH CITY-CENTRIC AMENDMENTS
Body
The purpose of this and related ordinances is to update the city’s building code, adopt changes made in the various 2021 editions of the International Codes, apply city-specific revisions to the adopted codes, and to simplify, consolidate, and clarify the city’s building code support functions such as appeals, violations, contractor licenses, fees and third-party services.
Summary & Background
The 2021 IECC is retitled the City of Commerce City Energy Conservation Code and establishes minimum energy conservation standards for residential and commercial buildings. The most significant technical change over the 2018 IECC is the inclusion of a city amendment that allows designers to select the residential energy conservation requirements of the 2018 or 2021 IECC until 2025 at which time the state will mandate all jurisdictions enforce the requirements of the 2021 edition.
