HUD and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently issued a Notice of Final Determination that establishes minimum energy standards that newly constructed housing units must meet to be eligible for insurance through various HUD and USDA programs. The two agencies have adopted the 2009 edition of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) for single-family homes and the 2007 edition of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) 90.1 for multifamily buildings.
