Hashrate Heating Relevant Building Code

Howdy Everyone,

We are all getting to the point now where, to scale appropriately, we need to meet certain portions of the building codes. I have a few projects now that are getting inspected and we are on-target to full compliance.

I am going to use this post, and update this section, to list relevant portions of the International Building Code. I will also do another post underneath relevant to my state of Idaho.

If your state has its own unique codes that you think are relevant, go ahead and post it in this thread.

Are there any sections that you know are going to be a challenge to get through? I’ve had to argue structural code with multiple different municipalities. Generally, a conversation with the city officials solves this (unless you’re in California).

Yes, I think that air-cooled mining solutions are going to need to comply with https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/IRC2024P2/chapter-14-heating-and-cooling-equipment-and-appliances#IRC2024P2_Pt05_Ch14_SecM1407 which invokes UL 1996. Maybe someone could whip up a business that provides a UL rating to forced air solutions.

Ok here is a big one from the 2024 IRC invoking “LISTED” equipment. Chapter 11 is Energy Efficiency and Chapter 24 is Fuel Gas so I think we are good there. Seems like its open to interpretation. Anyone ready to “list” something? Maybe we could have an independent “listing” of defined configurations of equipment:
