AHPBC Supports ICC Transparent Code Development The American High-Performance Buildings Coalition (AHPBC), an organization of leading associations representing a wide range of interests in the building and construction industry, issued a statement in support of the International Codes Council transparent process for developing the 2015 International green Construction Code (IgCC). The announcement happened as AHPBC convened for its expert committee hearings in Memphis, Tenn.

Jurisdictions, code officials, owners, managers and other users know the IgCC has gone through a formal development process in which all affected stakeholders have been given open and public access to provide expert input. |
