Status of Building Code Provisions for Solar Energy Systems
The recent increase in the use of solar energy systems has concurrently brought about an increased concern for health and life safety issues in buildings using solar energy systems. Some of these concerns, such as electrical connections and plumbing system design, have been addressed for years in the building codes used throughout the United States. Others, such as separation of potable water and toxic heat transfer fluids, have not received as much attention (especially in residential construction) until the increased use of solar energy systems. Regardless, those responsible for ensuring the safety of the U.S. building stock have needed code provisions with which to address the safety aspects of solar energy systems. The purpose of this report is to outline the current status of technical criteria the code enforcement community utilizes in regulating solar energy systems design and installation in new and existing building construction.
