9 Established by 77 th Texas Legislature in 2001, through enactment of Senate Bill 5 Assures that the air in Texas is safe to breathe Develops approaches to solving environmental problems Funds research and development Establishes Texas Building Energy Performance Standards Texas Emission Reduction Plan (TERP)
10
10 Texas Building Energy Performance Standards Assigned the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) to: Help municipalities and counties determine the relative impacts of local amendments to the code Report the status and effect of energy & emissions as impacted by local codes Texas Emission Reduction Plan (TERP)

13 Texas Building Energy Performance Standards Sets the 2000 International Residential Code and the 2000 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) with the 2001 Supplement, as the first state mandated energy codes for the State of Texas Texas Emission Reduction Plan (TERP)
14
14 2000 International Residential Code as applicable for 1- and 2- family residential construction 2000 International Energy Conservation Code with the 2001 Supplement for use in all other residential, commercial, and industrial construction. Texas Emission Reduction Plan (TERP) Texas Building Energy Performance Standards
15
15 Designed to save energy by: Reducing solar heat gain Improving the performance of HVAC ducts Requiring openings in the thermal envelope to be sealed against air leaks Setting minimum insulation levels for thermal envelope assemblies Texas Emission Reduction Plan (TERP)
16
16 Texas’ Non- attainment and Near Non- attainment Areas Texas Emission Reduction Plan (TERP)
17
17 Municipalities or counties may adopt local amendments to the International Energy Conservation Code and the energy efficiency chapter of the International Residential Code, however these amendments may not result in less stringent energy efficiency requirements in nonattainment areas and affected counties. Texas Emission Reduction Plan (TERP)
18
Energy Systems Laboratory 18 Developed a series of web-based calculators allowing Texas Government and Building Industry users to design energy efficient buildings at or above code, thus documenting their emissions reductions International Code Compliance Calculator (IC3) was developed for residential new construction Many jurisdictions mandate the use of IC3
19
Software Development 19 International Code Compliance Calculator (IC3) Based on the Texas Building Energy Performance Standards A performance-based residential energy code compliance tool Designed specifically to be used in residential construction within the state of Texas
20
International Code Compliance Calculator – IC3 20 Developed with emphasis on simplicity ESL’s goal is to develop an easy-to-use, easy-to-access simulated performance based tool that could be used to show code compliance and to report reduced energy consumption to the US EPA
