NAHB Members Needed to Represent Builders on New ICC Energy Code Committees
The International Code Council (ICC) has launched the process for the development of the next edition of the International Energy Conservation Code, the 2027 IECC.
Same as with the 2024 IECC, which is expected to be published in a matter of days, the next iteration of IECC will be developed by a committee consensus process based on the ANSI principles for development of standards.
NAHB is encouraging members to apply to serve on either the Residential Consensus Committee or the Commercial Consensus Committee for the 2027 IECC. It is critical that the knowledge and practical experience of the building community is represented in both committees. Our members are also effective at voicing concerns about the effects of regulations on consumers.
Applications to serve on the consensus committees are due Aug. 19 and must be submitted on ICC’s committee application website.
The Residential Committee will be updating provisions for one- and two-family dwellings and multifamily buildings up to three stories. The Commercial Committee will be updating provisions for multifamily buildings four stories and higher and all other building types.
