2014 Arkansas Energy Code
Arkansas adopted the 2014 Arkansas Energy Code for new residential construction. Home Energy Rx provides testing and verification services to confirm that new homes meet the requirements of this code.
What is the 2014 Arkansas Energy Code?
The 2014 Arkansas Energy Code is based on the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) with Arkansas-specific amendments. It establishes minimum requirements for insulation levels, window performance, air sealing, duct sealing, and mechanical system efficiency for new homes built in Arkansas.
Key Requirements
Insulation
Minimum R-values for ceilings, walls, floors, and crawlspaces based on Arkansas climate zones.
Windows & Doors
Maximum U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) requirements for fenestration.
Air Sealing
Maximum air leakage rate of 5 ACH50 verified by blower door testing.
Duct Sealing
Duct leakage to outside must not exceed 4 CFM25 per 100 sq ft of conditioned floor area.
Our Role
Home Energy Rx performs the required inspections and diagnostic tests — including blower door testing for building envelope air tightness and duct leakage testing — to verify compliance with the 2014 Arkansas Energy Code. We provide the documentation and certificates required by local building departments.
