Book Description
The advantages of a uniform solar energy code, acceptable in the various jurisdictions, have long been recognized. The increasing needs for such a code induced the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials to pass a resolution, at their 46th Annual Business Conference, which directed the President to form a Committee to develop a basic solar energy document. After months of concerted endeavor, this Committee, composed of representatives from Industry and Public Utility Companies, Inspectors, Plumbers, and Engineers, successfully completed the first edition of the "Uniform Solar Energy Code" which was officially adopted by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials in September,1976.In presenting the 1982 edition, IAPMO recognizes that the ultimate has not yet been attained. Users of this Code are respectfully urged to present whatever amendments their experience may dictate to the Association's headquarters, not later than March 1 of each year, so that by formal adoption of such, uniformity may be maintained and all will benefit. Amendments adopted by the membership will be published in revised form every third year and will keep this basic document abreast of technological development. The use of this document is intended to provide a safe and functional solar energy system with minimum regulations. Users of the "Uniform Solar Energy Code" are urged to strive for not just the minimum good solar energy system but to keep the ultimate consumer in mind and go a step beyond and exceed the minimum. The consumer is entitled to more than a safe and sanitary solar energy system. With the exception of "high use and wear" portions of the system, the solar energy system should have the same life as other components of the building. The "Uniform Solar Energy Code" is dedicated to all those who have unselfishly devoted their time and effort to create this Code.
