Happy New Year....and updated Illinois Energy Codes!


Everyone at Michael Buss Architects, Ltd. would like to extend our best wishes for a safe and happy New Year's holiday, may 2013 bring everyone good health and prosperity! 

The New Year will also usher in updated codes and regulations that will apply to the majority of all projects for 2013!   The 2012 State of Illinois Energy Conservation Code (The Energy Efficient Building Act), mandated by state law, will be updated from the 2009 IECC to the latest published edition of the 2012 IECC.  Michael Buss Architects has reviewed this new edition and its revisions and welcome you to contact us should you have any questions regarding application & compliance as you prepare for future projects in the coming year.
