[Bldg-sim] 2006 IECC vs. ASHRAE 90.1-2004

[Chris Baker]

IECC 2006's Section 501.1Scope states 
"...commercial buildings shall meet either the requirements of
ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1, Energy Standard for Buildings Except for
Low-Rise Residential Buildings, or the requirements contained in this
chapter."
 
Therefore complying with ASHRAE 90.1-2004 is complying with IECC 2006.

Hello, all,

 

Does anyone know of a study that has compared the equivalency of the
2006 edition of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)
compared to ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004? It seems to me that they are
roughly equivalent...The State of Wisconsin allows either one to show
compliance with its energy code. Is there something credible I can refer
to that states that they are essentially equivalent? An admittedly quick
search I did came up with only some lighting comparisons.
