New Green Construction Code Unveiled
5-13-2010
PR Newswire
WASHINGTON - The International Code Council announced the release of Public Version 1.0 of the International Green Construction Code (IGCC) to regulate construction of new and existing commercial buildings.
"We talked to communities who indicate that their voluntary green building programs reach only, but an important, 30% of the built environment," Code Council CEO Richard P. Weiland said. "This means that there is a clear need for a regulatory tool to establish a baseline to help jurisdictions meet their sustainability goals."
The IGCC aims to significantly reduce energy usage and greenhouse gasses. It addresses site development and land use, including preservation of natural and material resources. Enforcement of the code will improve indoor air quality and support the use of energy-efficient appliances, renewable energy systems, water resource conservation, rainwater collection and distribution systems, and the recovery of used water (graywater).
The IGCC emphasizes building performance and building owner education to ensure the best energy-efficient practices. A key feature of the new code is a section devoted to "jurisdictional electives" that will allow customization of the code beyond its baseline provisions to address local priorities and conditions.
