You never know what will become a hot topic at the IAPMO Plumbing Technical Committee meetings. There are certain subjects bound to push buttons. Then there are other topics you shake your head about and can’t figure out.
This is what occurred at the May 1-4 meeting in Anaheim, Calif., when the Technical Committee had to review all the green plumbing code changes. IAPMO has long published a green supplement to the Plumbing and Mechanical Code. The supplement is a voluntary set of requirements a jurisdiction can adopt if it wants to add green requirements to its code adoption.
