ICC Codes and Standards
14 Model Codes: I-Codes– Building: IBC, IRC– Fire: IFC, IWUIC– Fuel Gas, Mechanical, Plumbing:
IFGC, IMC, IPC, IPSDC– Existing Buildings: IEBC, IPMC– Specialty: IECC, ICC Perf, IZC – Green: IGCC
ANSI Standards include:- ICC/ANSI A-117, Accessibility- ICC/ANSI 700, Green Building
- ICC Model Codes used- All 50 States- Federal Agencies- DOD, GSA,
DOS, etc.- ICC is successor to ICBO,
SBCCI, BOCA & CABO5/25/2010

Coordination of I-Codes• Defined scope of each code • Interdependence and
reliance on the entire family of codes - cross referencing and duplication of provisions within code scopes
• Issues resolved in a single and central public forum
• Single interpretation applies to all codes
• Fully supported codes- not just code books

Development Process GoalUtilize a process open to all parties with safeguards to avoid domination by proprietary interests.
ICC Governmental Consensus Process assures inclusive process, with the final vote reserved for those who enforce the codes.
Meet policy and process needs of governmental customers5/25/2010

Code Committees
• Materially affected interests represented
• Not less than 33% of each committee is to be regulators
• All meetings in public forum
• All actions and reasons for action published

• Staff review / Publish on website: – Approx. 90 days prior to Code
Development Hearing• Code Development Hearing:
– Anyone can attend, and testify.– No cost to attend the hearings.– All ICC members can vote in
assembly action.• Report published 30 days
following hearing

Model Code Adoption
By federal, state or local legislative or regulatory action and applicable in all areas covered by the action
Mandatory max/minMandatory with amendment allowedMandatory only if agency elects to adopt a code
By insurance, builder, utility, etc. action
As part of professional practice ethics
![Page 15: INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070503/56815658550346895dc3fe68/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Implementation and EnforcementBy Federal, state or local agency charged with enforcement
Review and approval of plans, test data, calculations, etc. Inspection of product manufacturing and testing Inspection of building construction
By other entity such as utility or insurance carrier
Building owner, design professional, builder, contractor, manufacturer etc. is responsible to comply and provide verification of compliance
![Page 16: INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070503/56815658550346895dc3fe68/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Compliance
Verification directly from the plans or through field inspection
![Page 17: INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070503/56815658550346895dc3fe68/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Compliance Verification based on testing, calculations and other evidence directly linked to specific criteria in the adopted codes and standards
Verification based on equivalent performance, as determined by approved specific computer software, compliance manuals, or worksheets that meet the intent of the code and standards

Code Content Drivers• Safety concerns of code
officials and advocates• Simplified acceptance of
technology / systems• Recent federal efforts to
use codes to achieve policy goals– States set land use and
construction regs– Local enforcement system
largely in place

Energy Code- currently 2009 IECC• MEC renamed IECC
in 2000• 2003, 2006, 2009.• Referenced in
EPACT, EISA, ARRA.
• Referenced in HR 2454, S1462
• Kerry- Lieberman, Lugar also use

Why use the code to increase Energy Efficiency?
• Existing infrastructure, acceptance & support mechanisms
• Simpler adoption• Avoids Federal / State
enforcement issues• Avoids complexity of
drafting specific technical provisions
• Allows for comparison w/ existing EE levels 5/25/2010
![Page 21: INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070503/56815658550346895dc3fe68/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Pending Federal Legislation & the energy code • All reference IECC for
residential, ASHRA 90.1 commercial buildings
• All set goals for higher EE, by percentage
• “hammer” provisions if goals not met.
• provisions to encourage / force adoption
• “Renewables” legislation allows EE to meet goals

IECC Climatic Zones•IECC requirements vary by region. The regions are determined based on the climate
• Each county in the country is sorted into one of the climate zones

New International Green Construction Code(IGCC)
• Energy use efficiency• Water use efficiency• Materials and resource use• Indoor environment quality• Impact on environment
(Greenhouse Gas/Carbon)• Site design• Sustainable building
owner/facility management education
• Existing buildings

Opportunities for action….• Now is the time to focus on
technology:– Smart grid requirements– Peak /off-peak issues– Vehicle charging
facilities• You know about these
issues- propose changes to the codes
• Code efficiency is predictable&permanent

Getting started• Work with your
association• Get a committee going
to review and draft• Make some proposals
NOW, to affect 2012 IGCC, 2015 IECC
• Simple way to make a BIG difference
