This code shall be known as the Energy Conservation <br />Code and shall be cited as such. “This code” when used within the <br />International Energy Conservation Code as incorporated by reference <br />herein, means the Energy Conservation Code of the County of <br />Hawai‘i.” <br />(2) Subsections C101.2 and C101.3 of the International Energy Conservation Code <br />are deleted in their entirety. <br />(3) Subsection C101.4 of the International Energy Conservation Code is amended <br />to read as follows: <br />“C101.4 Applicability. Where, in any specific case, different sections <br />of this code or other adopted codes specify different materials, <br />methods of construction or other requirements, the code official shall <br />determine which code requirements shall prevail.

The code <br />official may require construction plans, research reports, and tests <br />prepared by a registered design professional in order to determine <br />whether to allow such lower standards.” <br />SUPP. 11 (1-2022) <br /> <br />5E-4 <br /> <br />
