On October 18, 2013, the Department of Energy mandated that all states adopt ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2010 as their minimum energy code, forming part of the IECC 2012. This includes essential requirements such as: CI for steel-framed buildings in climate zones 3-8, maximum fenestration limited to 40% of wall area, and mandated air barriers. The standard emphasizes proper sealing of sheathing joints and all penetrations. Compliance encourages the usage of materials like Dryvit Backstop NT and Aqua Flash. This shift aims to enhance building energy efficiency nationwide.
