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 modifies Tennessee's building code regulations specifically relating to roof standards by exempting certain solar reflectance and thermal emittance requirements for low-sloped roofs in the 2021 International Code Council adoption. The International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) typically sets technical standards for energy efficiency in building construction, including requirements for roof materials that can help reduce heat absorption. Effective July 1, 2025, this legislation removes those specific roof reflectance and thermal emittance requirements for low-sloped roofs. Additionally, the bill authorizes the state fire marshal to create administrative rules to implement this change, and mandates that such rule-making must follow the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act. While the bill takes effect immediately for the purpose of drafting rules, the substantive changes will not be applied until July 1, 2025, giving stakeholders time to prepare for the modification in building code standards.
