dc.description.abstractThis paper presents results of a comparative analysis of the electricity and natural gas savings from the implementation of 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) when compared with the 2001 IECC1 specifications with 2006 NAECA for a new single-family residential construction. The analysis uses a DOE-2 simulation for five locations in Texas (Houston, Brownsville, Dallas/Fort Worth, El Paso and Amarillo). The analysis shows that a code – compliant house built to the specifications of the 2009 IECC uses 10% – 16% less site energy annually than a house meeting the specifications of the 2001 IECC, for an air-conditioned house with a natural gas furnace. The results also show that an air conditioned 2009 code - compliant house with a heat pump uses 10% - 14% less site energy annually.en
