DOE requested that Pacific Northwest National Laboratory estimate the energy savings, economic impacts, and pollution reduction from adopting the 2003 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) as the mandatory residential energy-efficiency code in the state of West Virginia. The state currently allows a less energy-efficient replacement option. This report addresses the impacts for low-rise residential buildings only.
