Bill Summary
As enacted, clarifies that, as of July 1, 2025, the roof solar reflectance and thermal emittance requirements of the International Energy Conservation Code for low-sloped roofs do not apply to the 2021 International Code Council adoption; authorizes the state fire marshal to promulgate rules to that effect. - Amends TCA Title 68, Chapter 120.
AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee's building code regulations by specifically exempting the roof solar reflectance and thermal emittance requirements for low-sloped roofs from the 2021 International Code Council (ICC) adoption, effective July 1, 2025. In practical terms, this means that certain energy efficiency standards related to roof design and materials will not be mandatory for low-sloped roofs when the 2021 building codes are implemented. The state fire marshal is authorized to create administrative rules to implement this change, and must do so in compliance with the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act. While the bill's rules-making provisions take effect immediately upon becoming law, the substantive code exemption will not be in place until July 1, 2025. The bill appears to provide flexibility in building construction standards, potentially reducing compliance costs or technical challenges for roofing professionals and building developers in Tennessee.
