From the US Dept of Energy website:
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has provided funding to furnish free digital copies of the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code® (2009 IECC). This free download is meant to support the building energy efficiency goals of DOE's Building Technologies Program, as well as those found within the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
DOE assists states and stakeholders with adoption- and compliance-related activities associated with the 2009 IECC. By making the code more readily available to all involved, DOE is confident that this collaboration with the International Code Council (ICC), the publisher of the IECC, will lead to greater energy efficiency in buildings.
