Energy Code Compliance
Pennsylvania is now enforcing the 2015 International Residential Code (IRC) and 2015 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) for residential new construction projects up to 3-stories in height.
New Jersey recently adopted the 2018 versions.
The PA codes require that buildings pass duct leakage and envelope leakage (blower door) tests. The NJ codes require a duct leakage test.
They both also require continuously operating mechanical ventilation systems.

Note: Multifamily projects that are 4+ stories must comply with the 2015 International Building Code (IBC), except in Philadelphia, where the 2018 IBC has been adopted. These codes do not include mandatory testing.
