After seven months of intensive construction code development meetings, hundreds of conference calls, and thousands of e-mails, the Sustainable Building Technology Committee (SBTC) ?EUR??,,????'?????<???????????????????????(R)??????oe headed by members of American Institute of Architects, the International Code Council (ICC), and the standards-writing organization ASTM International released a completed first public version of the International Green Construction Code (IGCC). Green industry standards will continue to be implemented in the landscape industry. Keep your eyes open for impending legislaltion.
From the release of the first public version of the IGCC (March 15) through May 14, 2010, the public at large will have the opportunity to offer comments on the content of the code. In mid-August, comments will be considered in public hearings, with a view toward the issuance of an updated version of the code in early November.
A second round of hearings will be held in May, 2011 with the final action hearing occurring in the fall of 2011. The final version of the code will be published in 2012. The IGCC will then be incorporated into the subsequent code cycle which means that it will be up for further revision and improvement every three years subsequent (i.e., 2015, 2018). ?EUR??,,????'?????<???????????????????????(R)??????oe Courtesy of AIA
