International Code Council Develops First
National Green Building Code
Drafters of the International Code Council’s
International Green Construction Code (IGCC)
are nearing completion of the first-ever integrated
green code for traditional and highperformance
commercial buildings, set for a public release
in March.
“This will be the first time code officials,
owners and designers will have an integrated
regulatory framework to put into practice that
meets the goal of greening the construction
and
design of new and existing buildings,” according
to Code Council CEO Richard P. Weiland.
“Only a code that is useable, enforceable and
adoptable will have the capability of impacting
our
built environment in dramatic ways.”
The IGCC is designed specifically to integrate
and coordinate with the other International
Codes already being enforced by governmental
code officials at all levels. All 50 states
and more
than 20,000 U.S. jurisdictions use the International
Codes developed by the Code Council for
safety and sustainability.

the Code, follow this link:
