Title: Interpretation of 675 IAC 12-4-12(j)

Date: August 2, 2011

Purpose: The purpose of this nonrule policy document is to clarify the application of the exemption from the requirements of the Indiana Energy Conservation Code, 675 IAC 19, contained in 675 IAC 12-4-12(j). Subsection (j) provides as follows:

Interpretation: The Commission has determined that 675 IAC 12-4-12(j) is applicable regardless of whether the building or other Class 1 structure has undergone one or more changes of occupancy since its construction prior to January 21, 1978. The Commission also interprets 675 IAC 12-4-12(j) to apply to all work done in the course of any alternation [sic] work done, regardless of the scope of the alteration work performed. For purposes of this interpretation, any remodeling work is deemed to be an alteration. The exemption contained in 675 IAC 12-4-12(j) does not apply to any addition to a building or other Class 1 structure.
