Building Codes Assistance Project

After an attempt in the state legislature to require the 2006 IECC for commercial buildings failed in the state Senate, a joint resolution established the 2006 IECC as the recommended code for the state of Alabama. Effective December 1, 2008, all new construction within the jurisdiction of the state building commission (state-funded buildings) is subject to the 2006 IECC, though residential and commercial construction is not required to comply.

For more details, visit the website of the Alabama Building Commission or contact its technical staff.
