Arkansas currently uses the 2014 Arkansas Energy Code for commercial and residential construction, which is based on the International Energy Conservation Code-2009 and ASHRAE 90.1-2007. The Arkansas General Assembly authorized the Arkansas Energy Office to promulgate these regulations in Section 3(B)(2)(c) of Act 1981.
