IECC 2009 - State Building Code (Puerto Rico)

In 1979 the Code for Energy Conservation in Puerto Rico was adopted as part of the Building Codes administered by the Permits and Regulations Administration. Legislation has been enacted that assigns the Energy Affairs Administration responsibility for updating the energy code. The adoption date of the IECC 2009 began on January 1st, 2011; however, the effective date of this code will be transitory. This means that the effectiveness of the IECC 2009 will depend on the Building Occupancy Group as defined in the IBC 2009, all the way through 2017, in order to fulfill with the 90% compliance as stated in the State Energy Program Regulations. Effective dates begin March 1, 2013 through March 1, 2016
