§ 14.35.010. Adoption.

A.

That portion of the State Building Code known as the International Energy Conservation Code—Residential as defined in RCW 19.27.031, as amended and updated by the State Building Code Council pursuant to RCW 19.27.074, Chapter 51-11R WAC, and as amended in this chapter, except to the extent prohibited by Chapter 19.27 RCW, is adopted as the Energy Conservation Code—Residential for Thurston County.

B.

Any reference to the International Energy Conservation Code—Residential; the Energy Code; or the Residential Energy Code shall be considered a reference to the International Energy Conservation Code—Residential provisions as amended by the State Building Code Council and then as amended by Thurston County if amendments were adopted.

C.

Thurston County amendments to the International Energy Conservation Code—Residential (IECC-R) will list the specific sections being amended.

The county would not be amending sections R101.3.1.1, R101.3.1.2, R101.3.1.3 or R101.3.1.4; those sections would not be considered repealed or amended and would remain as provided in the IECC-R.

The use of the term "department" by itself shall always mean the Community Planning and Economic Development department, unless otherwise indicated in the specific section.
