Regional and International Energy Efficiency standards

i. International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)
The International Energy Conservation Code is a
building code developed by the International Code
Council in 2000. It is a model code adopted by

many states and municipal governments in the United
States for the establishment of minimum
design and construction requirements for energy
22
efficiency.

ii. CARICOM Region Energy Efficiency Building Code (CREEBC)
CREEBC was developed to meet the needs of the CARICOM Region. These standards will cover

both residential and commercial construction that sets out the minimum energy efficiency
requirements for buildings, including the building envelope, cooling system, ventilation,
pumping, lighting and the service water-heating systems.
