NAHB Members and Staff Made Builders’ Voices Heard at ICC Code Hearings
Dodging rain, snow and COVID in Rochester, New York, NAHB members and Construction, Codes & Standards staff again successfully argued for decent, safe and affordable housing during the first round of the International Code Council’s (ICC) 2022 code development cycle.
The ICC recently held its 2022 Group B Committee Action Hearings in Rochester to consider proposed changes to the 2024 editions of the I-Codes. The Group B cycle includes the key International Residential Code (IRC) provisions related to structural design, fire safety and egress, as well as the International Existing Building Code (IEBC) and structural provisions of the International Building Code (IBC).
The four ICC code development committees considered some 800 code change proposals over nine days. The committees supported NAHB’s position on 90% of the proposals for the IRC and 79% of the proposals overall.
