For this week’s Guest Post Friday here at Musings, we welcome back Mike Collignon. Mike is a co-founder of the Green Builder Coalition. The Green Builder® Coalition is working to improve the sustainable attributes of new and existing buildings through education, information and advocacy.
The big story of the 2015 International Code Council (ICC) final action hearings was the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) proceedings. Because they started half a day behind schedule, due to prolonged residential building code debates, there was a sense of haste over the remainder of the hearings to try and get back on schedule. (Eleven different codes were discussed, and the entire process needed to conclude by 12pm ET on Thursday, October 10th.)
