ASHRAE Vs. International Codes
ASHRAE Vs. International Codes
(OP)
Hello all:
I am debating whether to purchase yet another copy of a standard: "ASHRAE 90.1". One can invest a small fortune in these!
I have the full set of state mechanical, building and energy codes; which have just adopted the international code suite: IMC, IBC and IECC among others; and I have copies of the 2000 international codes.
In some cases (minimum equipment efficiencies) the state code calls out ASHRAE 90.1. The IECC also calls out minimum equipment efficiencies.
Does anyone know if ASHRAE 90.1 and the IECC are redundant in this regard; and/or in any other respects?
Thanks.

If you ever have to go to court and a lawyer ask if you have a copy you can say "yes".
If you say "no" they will want to know why don't you have a copy.
