The Code Council’s three new publications each address a critical component of wildfire and fire safety and prevention.

Sigler is a well-known and highly respected technical expert in the industry with over 20 years of experience in construction, codes and engineering.

ICC held its very first virtual code change hearings in April and May. Let us hope it is the last time they hold them virtually. While technology has advanced, I think everyone got tired of the statement, “Can you hear me now?”

The goal is to include approximately 30 members for each committee that represent a diverse array of experience in building types and energy efficiency strategies, as well as racial, gender and socio-economic diversity.

While the hearings are virtual, the committees will actually be live at the ICC Central Regional Office in Country Club Hills, Illinois. The committee, ICC staff and moderators will all be operating from the office, while everyone else participates virtually.

Building Safety Month 2021 celebrates the industry’s resilience throughout the pandemic and looks to continue creating safe and sustainable buildings and communities.

The study affirmed the recent finding by the National Institute of Building Sciences that adopting modern codes provides $11 in mitigation savings for every $1 invested.

PM Engineer recently had the chance to interview International Code Council CEO Dominic Sims about the current landscape for codes and standards and the plumbing industry overall. 

Educational sessions will offer continuing education units (CEUs).

The publication is based on study, research and discussions from the Code Council’s membership, partners and industry experts.
