Due to the adoption of IECC 2018 by Pennsylvania’s Uniform Construction Code on Feb 14, 2022, FirstEnergy’s Pennsylvania Utilities (Met Ed, Penelec, Penn Power, West Penn Power) will be updating the Commercial New Construction (CNC) and Custom Building Improvements Assistance (CBI) programs energy efficiency baseline evaluation criteria beginning June 1, 2022 to reflect this change. Applications for new construction and/or major renovation projects that are submitted to FirstEnergy’s PA Utilities program and permitted after June 1, 2022 will utilize IECC 2018 as baseline for evaluation of energy efficiency savings.
