This spring, IAPMO starts the final round of meetings leading up to the publication of the 2015 Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC). The meeting was recently moved from St. Louis to Las Vegas, but the dates remain the same (April 28-30). Those dates are coincidently the same dates as the International Code Council’s Green Code hearings in Memphis, Tenn.
UA and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) have reached an agreement on a landmark proposal to save energy and water in new buildings with a proposal to IAPMO.
When IAPMO switched in the 1990s to the consensus process for the development of the Uniform Plumbing Code, it knew it gave up some control of its document.
If various proposed changes are accepted, the 2015 edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code could have a new look. The two-year cycle leading up to the next edition of the UPC will start with a meeting in Salt Lake City the last week of this month and the first week of May.
