[Adopted 5-2-2012 ATM, Art. 18]
A.
International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) 2009 - The International
Energy Conservation Code (IECC) is a building code created by the
International Code Council. It is a model code adopted by many state
and municipal governments in the United States for the establishment
of minimum design and construction requirements for energy efficiency.
Commencing July 1, 2010, the baseline energy conservation requirements
of the MA State Building Code will default to IECC 2009 and MA amendments.
B.
Stretch Energy Code - Codified by the Board of Building Regulations
and Standards as 780 CMR Appendix 115 AA, the Stretch Energy Code
is the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) 2009 with amendments
contained herein.
The purpose of 780 CMR 115.AA is to provide a more energy efficient
alternative to the base energy code applicable to the relevant sections
of the building code for both new construction and existing buildings.
This code applies to residential and commercial buildings. Buildings
not included in this scope shall comply with 780 CMR 13, 34, 61, or
93, as applicable.
The Town of Ashland, seeking to ensure that construction within
its boundaries is designed and built above the energy efficiency requirements
of 780 CMR, mandates adherence to Appendix 115 AA.
The Stretch Code, as codified by the Board of Building Regulations and Standards as 780 CMR Appendix 115 AA, including any amendments or modifications, is herein incorporated by reference into the Town of Ashland General Bylaws, Chapter 98.
The Stretch Code is enforceable by the building inspector official.
